What did you expect @Kristi K.?

I mean seriously, what are your expectations? 

That someone is going to deliver to you, on a silver platter, a property purchase you can simply say "yeah, sure, I'll take that" where you do some paint, carpet, little cleaning and tidying and turn around and clear a $100k? 

They have already done all the hardest work. What's left is simply $ to close (HML easily solves that) getting the vendors to do the "simple stuff" (pick your platform; Angie, Neighborly etc etc) and than to sell it (more agents than one can count happy to list).

No. 

There gonna sell you the stuff they can't or won't do. 

And of course there gonna press to sell it for the most they can get, that's just obvious. 

No, your nobody special and do not garner any "relationship building" or any of that jazz UNTIL or unless you make yourself special to them to garner a volume relationship. 

I hear that foolish excuse so often of they will get your volume. Ok, what's that volume? Zero or next to zero? Not much incentive there. 

Reality is there is way more buyers than deals. And your nobody until you make yourself somebody. And that's exactly how they will treat you. 

What your conveying here Kristi is an expectation that others be responsible for your success. That others are to deliver success and profit to you with a bow on it. 

No. 

Your wholly responsible for your own success. 

And let's be honest, your looking to take advantage of them and upset that they keep beating you to the punch. That's what it all boils down to. 

All the complaining in the world won't change a darn thing. 

Take actions to make solutions. If you can't shape yourself into a solution maker the cold hard truth is this isn't for you and you'd be better focusing time and energy elsewhere. 

Quote from @Kristi K.:

I’m about ready to give up on wholesalers! I’ve wasted a lot of time going and looking at “a jewel of a deal”. Here is the latest example from yesterday

This is how they advertise it, $180,000

“If you’re looking for a great investment, with great bones and endless possibilities, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath gem in New Braunfels is it! The roof is 5-7 years old and the foundation was updated 5-7 years ago so the big stuff is already taken care of. All it needs now is a little TLC to bring it to life—think fresh paint, new fixtures, etc.

The cabinets, floors, and walls are all in good shape, so you’ve got a solid starting point. It’s the perfect opportunity for an investor hunting for a smart deal.

Located in a great area with a charming downtown, awesome local restaurants, and plenty of outdoor fun by the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers.

This is one of those homes that doesn’t come around often—a solid investment with tons of potential that won’t take much to make it shine.”

The county has it appraised at $188,000 and here are some pics.  

My question is how can someone be so far off on value and continue to keep their job? 

Maybe I’m missing something in your pictures. That picture of the sidewalk the sidewalk was poured after the fact and it’s not part of the Foundation.  Those couple of little small stress cracks  in the wall you took a picture of as well as the hole in the door are easy fixes.

Tape measure/Laser measure
Paper/Pen/iPad
Binoculars
Receptacle tester

Marble
