"maintenance is way to variable" so you pretend like it doesn't exists?

The problem is cash is king and when some people want to feel like 'royalty', they pretend to be cashbuyers to get people emailing / calling them with deals knowing that they won't or can't close only to go the 52 fake out route in the end.

@Rick Harmon ALL your answers are condescending while you pretend that you are an expert when it comes to ALL probate strategies.

My question is about something he said in his article:"...be careful of separating the real from the pretend buyers by simply asking for a non-refundable earnest money deposit from your buyer."

THE PRETENDERS The most important characteristic when it comes to buyers is the quality of your buyers rather than quantity.

I dont pretend to know all the ins/outs.

I don't have a magic formula to offer, but I know that I buy for far less and collect far more.I learned how to analyze deals by "pretending".  

Looking at the  liquidity and net worth statement along with a bank statement will weed out the pretenders from those that can actually buy.On the commercial side I work with newer buyers but they also have to show the capability to buy with statements or we do not proceed.

I don't pretend we are all great, but common!  

Therefore, lets not make wholesaling seem fraudulent and pretend that working with a realtor / broker is better or faster way to sell a house.
