Great points @Eddie T. Are these from wholesalers that you consistently buy from?

You're Absolutely correct @Pete T. That makes a whole lot of sense!  Thanks!

I can see how the ARV being stated too high can make you turn the other way fast ESPECIALLY after a verified appraisal @Andy Collins But look at it this way:  You Just Saved Yourself A Lot of Time and Can Move On to The Next Deal!  Great Point!

That's a great point @Arktavious Sally ...I can see where a bit of lack of experience or knowledge can make two sides see differently in terms of those numbers.  That why the resources on BP and across the web are so important for newbies such as myself to utilize and to always keep learning your craft.  Thanks!

Those are valid issues @Curt Davis and thanks a lot for the response.  It sounds like those 3 are more integrity issues more than anything.  I look at this as my "investing career" and though wholesalers have buyer lists, it doesn't make since to squash or walk over a possible LONG lasting relationship over $1,000 or any dollar amount.  There will always be great deals if you market consistently so I never understood why someone would risk a seemingly great relationship over a few bucks OR not do there due diligence before presenting a deal to a buyer(s).  The rehabbing issue can go either way BUT the wide margin in rehab costs could very well be intentional.  I definitely understand how that can be frustrating because of the wide spread and if the same wholesaler is consistently doing that.

I recently got my first property under contract in the St. Louis, MO. market (Florissant, MO. to be exact).  I do not have a buyers list but yet I have managed to make some great connections regarding my area where i intend to market.  Though i know and understand that we all make mistakes especially as newbies, I am one that strives to do things the proper way to avoid the common mistakes.  My question to the experience wholesalers and cash buyers is What are some problems and pitfalls that you have experienced dealing with wholesalers and how did you avoid or correct those issues?  Thanks!

Thanks @Brandon Turner for the information and the FREE content again and I will most definitely read the articles that you have provided for me tonight and Thanks!

Thanks @Fannie Hood for chiming in!  Keep the positive energy going and from the looks of it the members for BP will not let you get discouraged.  Let's connect!

Hello @Gordon Cuffe...I still have the property.  I sent you a colleague request too and looking forward to chatting with you.

I saw it on CNBC yesterday.  Both stocks increased big time.  I'm not sure the motive behind the merger or any of the other particulars.
