No Fail Wholesale! Contingency Nightmare!

John Sherron

Posted

Quick question BP Family! I've done a couple wholesale deals in the past but they were insane to say the least. Mind you I am self taught so that definitely didn't give me an advantage. I found it rather tricky trying to convince the seller to allow me a week or 2 for an inspection contingency. 

My question is this, what can I do or say in order to hold a property under contract for a longer amount of time where I can shop it around to sell. 

It has to be a better way than the inspection contingency, because that was hell dealing with that. Most sellers didn't even want to comply with the contingency. It was almost like they already knew something was up immediately, which made it rather awkward at times.

Any advice would be golden. Thanks in advance fam!
