Everything went really well except for the fact that they sold the loan to a hedge fund before closing and the hedge fund's fees were added to the loanguys fees and it all added up quite a bit so I changed my mind at the closing table and used a private lender that is friends with the closing attorney. 

I turn the tables on the wholesaler calls.. if i can get past the telemarketer and get to the owner I then explain to the owner how I can fund deals for them..

I recommend seeking a professional who charges for the value they bring to the table.

Therefore, bringing as little to the table as possible at closing in both the downpayment + closing costs should hopefully still make your numbers work.

Pretty cool.You probably won't find this type of home in Florida or anywhere where the water table is high.

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

This may be to deliberately prevent discovery of other electrical issues or prevent fire/injury.You will need some form of hard money or construction financing to purchase the property as is, and you will need to get the property occupant-ready to pass an appraisal before permanent financing is on the table.

I do not only have money to bring to any table.  

Ditch the red rug, increase art and add dresser, bedside tables to bedrooms.

If you are getting what you are looking for then I wouldn't be worried about leaving bookings on the table, if you aren't, you may have to tweak your rates (or other things about your listing).
