I'd love to hear your stories...

[Jon Mason]

Any wholesalers out there have any stories of how you've been able to help homeowners through wholesaling?  I know the general ways in which wholesaling can help the homeowner, such as not having to repair the house to retail condition, and not having to pay an agent's commission, etc. but I'd love to hear the specific scenarios of how you've gotten people out of a bind, or in some way really helped to the point that they were grateful that you came along?  If you don't mind sharing some of the numbers of the deal and what you walked away with, that would be cool too.

I'm interested in wholesaling as a starting point in REI, but only if can help people first and foremost, and still make good money doing it.
