Maybe the “student” deserves some blame, but the punishment, in my view is more than served by the huge failure rate in the wholesaling industry, coupled with the near total loss on the educational investment.All illustrative, of course.

Great story, the only puzzling piece is that the seller did not call you back and explain what had happened and thank you for your insight, perhaps a deal could have been struck with you, although I can see how the emotions took over and the need to punish the foolish person who called himself an investor.Let this be a leeson to anyone who is intrigued with becoming a wholesaler, learn the ropes and do things right or make a bad name for yourself and likely not make any money, just enemies.

another thing to look out for, especially in that area, is if they count the basement as a bedroom or not. that can totally screw up the numbers either way. some agents count it, some don't. there's not much punishment on those who count it when it shouldn't be legally considered a bedroom. just a thought for when you're looking at your numbers

From there, it's already too late for the urgent stuff, and you'll need to chalk that up to a hard lesson learned about due diligence up front; trying to sell a property with urgent deferred maintenance is most likely going to punish you.
