Finally, he wants to be paid in cash (but that’s not going to happen…he will receive a 1099 as an independent contractor whether he likes it or not).He provides no upfront capital or risk, I provide all the training, in place systems, financial and intellectual capital, contacts, legal entities, and accounting to make this business work…It has taken me about a year of blood sweat and tears to finally get it rocking at a good flow.
Serge S. Real life of a landlord

My text box is equally full and I get the message below:It was just crazy, my wife woke me up at about 1:30 this morning because of all the screaming and yelling I got up the girl was outside covered in blood and they wouldn't let the cops in so they left about 30 minutes later, we were going back to bed after they left and that's when Vaugn was trying to come in thru the bedroom window saying he was gonna shoot us so I warned him that if he came threw the window I was going to shoot him to stay out, the sons bailed and the police could not find them but the girl was there , I don't understand why Vaun is freaking out but his son came and talk to Steph and I around 9:00 and told us he hadn't slept in days and was freaking out,,, the cop that took the reports told us he was being airlifted to hospital because his eye was hanging out of the socket from getting beat by his sons and that his ribs had been broken...

David J. I Know Where the "Good Wholsalers" are . . . . .
5 November 2014 | 11 replies
So once a "wholesaler" realizes there is so much money left on the table in the business model, they immediately look for ways to keep more of it.Some keep and rehab, some refinance out and hold as a rental, I close and sell on the MLS.My point is, wholesaling is a temporary job that happens until they have something better to do, which usually takes building up a little cash or making the right connections.That is why there are 1 million wholesalers and very few good ones.Because the second they are any good, they have enough cash or connections to find a better model to monetize the deal they found.Let’s face it, finding deals is the hardest part of the game, and when someone gets even halfway decent at it, they are going to stop giving them to others until they have gotten as much blood from the turnip as their little hands can squeeze out.The reason everyone is searching for a "good wholesaler" is because wholesalers are handing out free money.If you have the ability to find and give away free money, you won't be standing on the corner doing for very long because (i) you realize you are giving away money (ii) someone else will realize you are a leprechaun) and stuff you in their trunk.
