First wholesale deal gone wrong

[Brett Pogoda]

Hi all,

This past week I just found someone who owns a small commercial property as I got to know him a little better he told me he was willing to part with the property (off market/cash offer) I told him I knew an investor that would most likely take his property off his hands. I helped him clean the place up last night and have plans to meet him and the potential buyer at the property tonight. I sense that the seller wants to squeeze me out of the deal and just deal with my connection himself. How do I make sure I get what is respectfully mine and take the proper legal steps next time so this benefits me on my behalf. Any simple step by step advice would be very helpful.

Sincerely, newbie wholesaler

You are owed the reasonable value of the services you provided the seller in helping him clean the place up.  This does not give you the right to any real estate but it does provide you with some leverage to try to get the seller to do the right thing.  Next time, get all promises relating to real estate in writing!!!
