Thanks Adrien for taking the time to critisize my question instead of answering it. I clearly see your value in helping others out. Which I can see in wholesaling homes on the MLS. If I'm an investor and I get presented with a wholesale deal which is a very good deal even after the wholesale fee, why wouldn't you go after it? The value of Wholesaling is that everyone is a winner in the deal. At least that's what I think. Have a great day Adrien, and Merry Christmas.
Cesar, which guru course did you take on wholesaling, or did you figure this out yourself to wholesale off the MLS?
The comments directed your way are correct.
I see you're new on BP, unlike other real estate guru sites or REIA meetings, you'll find advice here on wholesaling that is correct, depends on who you listen to, much of it illegal and/or unethical practice, but the idea of wholesaling has been around for over a hundred years, look up "straw man" deals. But what you got here, so far is correct.
You might be the nicest and smartest guy in town, but it's obvious you don't understand real estate......yet. Go to my profile page, to the right are my blogs, read "How to develop a good BS Meter" if you are the smartest guy in town, you'll figure it out.
If you should disagree and continue thinking you "add value" to real estate or a deal off the MLS, there must be others in town who are smarter.
And, you need thicker skin in real estate, sarcastic remarks work well, but not too well for those who are new here or who don't understand real estate, just saying......you'll end up with a label here and not get very good advice.
As mentioned, start reading and searching, open your mind to reality and be careful who you listen to in public forums. Good luck :)
