However, there are much better deals to be had they just don't come up often and they move really quick, I've had to offer the first day to have any chance of getting them.An example I'm about to close on is a 3-2 MLS deal, asking price $90k that will easily rent for $1,200. 

Hey everyone, I had a quick question.

It's certainly not quick and easy.What is everyone else thinking about promoting "opportunities" like this?

If you do have to get aggressive with your cash for keys offers it's still worth it as your upside is very high.The way I see it is if you can get an extra $450/mo per unit that's $5400 in your first year paid back, you can recoup your costs very very quickly.

I believe they scour through the comments and quickly delete anything potentially negative, unless it's some completely ridiculous statement that he can actually have an argument against and not look bad (IE, Nobody makes money in real estate!).

I just want to take a quick second too and say thank you to everyone on the forums and at Bigger Pockets.

Across the river, in South Portland, they basically put in an ordinance banning it (effectively), and it was quickly repealed by the citizens. 

Its everywhere.... this is what happens when wholesaling is the new guru's "get rich quick" scheme.

Working with wholesalers is intimidating for many since many require a 5 to 10k non-refundable earnest money, with a quick close (usually cash.)I've seen many people spend months to years trying to find the perfect deal.

You can look to see if the seller is willing to carry the note (seller financing) or you can always wholesale it to make a quick buck.
