Hard Money How did you add value to the deal?

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

Other analysis you can do is analyzing your cash flow, passive appreciation and principal recapture to see the total picture on your ROI.Once you do the analysis, you may find putting money into maintenance may or may not be worth holding the property.

also, did you subscribe to the course and actually dig into the content-!?

@Huong LuuIn my opinion, presuming you need the money - it is better to cash-out refi the property.  

If I'm paying good money for a tool, the last thing I want is someone looking over my shoulder.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

One would think that a bidder would pay $45,000 in my example (since they are assuming the first mortgage), but they are actually bidding $225,000.

Right now you have $1,000 in cash flow that can be used to fund other projects (seed money), pay you in profit to supplement your lifestyle, or fill in any gaps for underperforming properties.  

I have been trying to save up money but it is not near a down payment for a traditional loan.
