So, step 1 is really finding a way to get wholesaling business established and automated through a system that can be replicated. 

Yes, IF you took out a LOC you could replicate it but most people who are countering the strategy don’t do this.  

Is their strategy something you'd replicate?

Especially if they are going to do wholesaling or fix/flip.Even my business model, as easy as it is to replicate and deploy, requires some forethought and planning.  

We use a sophisticated system and a call center, however you could frankly replicate it for about $150/month (if it's even necessary).Frankly, I believe that there are too many people chasing too few deals.
