Hi @Sharad M. thank you for this interesting question.  I look forward to following the thread to learn from the responses, as well.  Good luck with this and congratulations.  

Were you able to negotiate on the listed price since it is a Fannie Mae deal or was the listed price the price you paid?   Just curious because  I'm looking at a few that I want to offer a lessor price for.  

Hi Brandon just sent out an email that it's postponed due to a crash of the webinar site.

Hi Daryl Williams.  Congratulations on your license and welcome to BP.  

Hi @Jamal Lee.  Your success is terrific.  The deal was a win-win for everybody.   No, you did not take advantage of the situation as the "faceless" Tom V depicts.   

Reading is FUNdamental (yes I know I capitalized a portion of the word).  

Your post indicates that the property was in need of "major repairs" which for some reason even supposedly serious experienced investors want to ignore, failing to understand that is a big part of the numbers game.  Neither you the wholesaler nor the seller are risking the time and money towards the repair so the deal could not be as profitable to either of you as it will be to the end buyer, taking all the risks.  From my humble perspective you put together an awesome deal.  You didn't try to run rogue on the seller or buyer which is evident in your assignment of contract profit.   

Thank you for sharing this post because the vast majority of BP apparantly wants to stake wholesalers.   I wish you much continued success and please don't hesitate to share your stories.  We are neighbors actually so double kudos!!!!!!!    

Welcome and congratulations to you @April Crossley.   Thank you.  Good luck with your continuing success.

I'm sorry that the contractor scammed you.    I'm real new but I plan to pay contractors after the work is done.  But if it is a big job many of them may want some type of down payment.  I've hired a contractor for small personal jobs and I've always paid him after the work was done.
