With all due respect, this is pretty much the only post I've seen on BP where there has been education from the "higher ups" in regard to wholesaling. Usually, Jay and company come in bashing wholesaling as a whole, and make it seem as though there's something wrong with the concept. Maybe the intention is to educate, but what actually happens is they come in bashing and not educating. I have on occasion myself attempted to mention this in the threads in hopes that more educating will occur, but those responses are usually overlooked and go unheard in the midst of the melee.
There's no doubt that wholesaling is rife with ignorant as well as unscrupulous people because of the low barrier of entry and the gurus who are out to make a quick buck by making it seem like you can make a quick buck. But The real problem with newbie wholesalers comes more from ignorance than it does unscrupulousness. There are too many gurus out there teaching these methods and that is a lot of where the problem lies. (Or is it lay? I always get confused on that one)
I have great respect for all of the experienced members of this forum. I have learned so much by reading what they have to say. And I also agree 1,000% with the indignation against the people who come in and think they're going to make easy money by screwing people over.
I also understand that the repetition of constantly having to educate the newbies on the ethical way of doing business is annoying. But I would still caution that if the intent is to educate, then more care needs to be put into the responses.
