wholesalers using ghost adds

what a scumbag thing to do. Make an add for what sounds like a great deal.

He even put in there it needed a cosmetic rehab and was an estate sale.

Used one of the best cities outside of Detroit that would be an easy rent or flip.

I told him its not a good start for us with him being dishonest. He mumbled all his words making it very hard to grasp what he was saying.

Well Jerome you made yourself look like an ignorant person that has no clue what you are doing.

I said I have cash and don't like getting played and not into BS games. I told him this is why many people think wholesalers are scumbags

So if you guys who wholesale don't want to look like dishonest fools don't do this. All this shows is you are not very good at what you do

@Scott K.

As an ethical wholesaler, I don't agree with approach as it damages a relationship which hasn't even begun with a buyer. My approach is to have a "real deal" and pitch it to sellers. This seems to work well and my partner and I have a good reputation within our REIA and with our list.

The ghost ad to create a buyer's list is a farce IMHO.
