They instead use an alternative method separate from both of the mentioned methods.

Alternatively you could use a 1031 exchange and put all that equity into one large cash flowing multi-family commercial property with property management. 

So it's possible that the assignee might decide to cut his losses and forfeit the fee amount he already paid in.Regardless of why this might happen (which is really immaterial), the questions I should have asked are:How frequently (percentage of a wholesaler's deals) does it happen that a buyer backs out of the assignment, andWhen it does, how successful are you in pursuing the alternatives mentioned in Dustin Heiner's article?

I'd rather learn the ins and outs of deal flow from a millionaire next door type that has an aol email address, no social media accounts, drives an old truck, and buys his clothes at Costco.

Tesla is in the middle of building the Semi truck manufacturing plant.

Alternatively, this can be sent to collections (creditor transferring the responsibility of collecting debt to a third-party agency). 

Can you imagine taking the time to find a new place, pay the despair, set up utilities, arrange for a moving truck/company, packing and unpacking everything, changing addresses everywhere, etc etc etc.

That would be a very good alternative to multifamily. 

On a separate note, I do not believe this farm yard has any strategic value for them... it's in a very corner off of a residential road that wouldn't do any good for trucking down or anything like that.  

Anyone else invested with their Fidelity IRA into an alternative investment recently that I can look into the fund to see if it might be right for myself?
