Hello Luke,

I am a wholesaler in Houston. I can refer a couple of good real estate attorneys that your friends that are living here can speak to. Once you guys are ready to invest I can certainly find SFH investment properties for you. Good Luck and inbox me if you want contact info for the attorney.

I've emailed and requested at least $1K the 30 day closing would still fall within my contract with the owner but what you said Wayne about clipping a rookie makes total sense and something I'm gonna be on alert for THANKS

Thanks @Belinda Lopez I thought the money with the homeowner was deemed a deposit and end buyer was earnest money? Although I'm anxious to get this first deal done, I've had it under contract for 10 days but it feels like 10 months, I will insist on at least $1K. The purchase price is $97K including a $4K wholesale fee so I guess its best to be sure of the buyer.

Hello All,

I am a new wholesaler and have my first deal under contract. I've been contacted by someone responding to my online marketing identifying themselves as a cash offer closing in 30 days. They've seen pictures of the house but no tour of the house. They've offered full asking price but only $150 in earnest money. Should I be sceptical? Should I push for more earnest money and risk losing the deal?
