You do not even need to put a deposit down (I never do... well I do but its like 5 dollars or so) because I am 100% honest and transparent.

Due to being transparent the seller called me 4 months after our initial conversation and stated although they will be taking a huge loss they just need to sell it and move on.

The next meeting at Starbucks, I took my laptop and pulled up the BP calculators (I believe in full transparency)  and we kept working until everyone was happy with the purchase price and terms.

To be transparent, we're not selling any kind of guru course or offering anything like that.  

I.e, do most deals in the conventional form as an agent, while wholesaling deals that don't fit the traditional mold of finding a seller who wants to list their home and wait for top dollar etc...I should note that I am still pursuing the wholesaling route in the meantime as I acquire my license, AND I am of the mindset that @Jay Hinrichs has expressed in a multitude of posts; which is that wholesaling is inherently immoral unless you operate with complete and utter transparency in all aspects of the deal, from seller to buyer and intent to closing etc...Would love your input as well, Jay.

Bait-and-switch is never a good business model, full disclosure and transparency is always the way to go!

Wholesaling is ALL about being honest and transparent.

Nothing spectacular but most everyone I have done business with was happy with my transparency.

They should be open, honest, and transparent with you. 

Some of the areas where that will cause investors to become frustrated are regular reporting, timely delivery of payments, accurate and transparent financials, timely delivery of tax documents, and the ability to meet target projections related to timing and returns.
