I also don't understand why you would want to tie up your cash so long without the benefits of owning the properties.The scenario of you buying a few now and the rest in a couple years seems to be the most appealing for you both, why are you adverse to that?

.), what would be the worst-case scenario?

Hi Conner, this is very common with MTRs.

Super common in Chicago. 

This is a common enough problem that we have built a lease break fee into our lease.

If you have any additional tips or resources on setting this up or ways to avoid the common pitfalls in this field, I’d be grateful to hear them.Thank you for offering to share a step-by-step blueprint—it’s exactly the kind of actionable guidance I’m looking for to make sure I approach wholesaling the right way!

Out here on the West coast the buyers brokers agreements were not nearly as common as back east and buyers out here are not familiar with them and are balking.. then sellers are balking at paying outside agent because of the laws Etc etc.. 

You’re making one of the most common—and biggest—mistakes most wholesalers make.If you need to ask, “Is wholesaling still a thing?”

However, with rising property prices and rents not keeping pace, it’s becoming more common to see 0.7% to 0.8%.

Great question and a common one that many face!
