I'm torn between the "if you're working to hard to make a deal work, its not a deal" mindset, and my persistent ability to keep working at something until everyone is happy.I have a track record of not giving up until I get what I want, but as I get older I am also weighing this trait against the amount of time and energy expended.

By definition that means expending money with the expectation of achieving profit.

The other issue is that, to expend enforcement resources, the buyer would need to have experienced losses.

Your biggest challenge might be to find a qualified and honest contractor who won't do their best to rip you off. or somehow delay your project because then busy expending resources on bigger and more profitable jobs this while already holding on to the initial payment you gave them.

For the most part, I have about 5-10 lenders that fund the majority of my projects but as we expend, I am looking to network with more lenders.

@Elizabeth Gregorio If you are looking to expend into Alberta, You can do so without selling your condos.

From a team standpoint, he has a finance background and time to devote to researching potential acquisitions, managing the properties, but has less expendable income to commit.  

I'm fully supportive of SEO, but I have to assume that the massive number of veteran wholesalers who continue to use cold calling and DMM to try to make a connection before Google gets consulted have some reason for expending all that effort.

10% inflation and gas prices through the roof, might be a lot of people can not afford to do anything but go to work.Meaning their expendable income (which is not very much for most paycheck to paycheck people) has been eaten up by these two dragons.

In both instances, the intrinsic value will be the same at the point in time the option is sold.As for the optionee petitioning to annul the option, the full fee - minus any legal costs associated with (de)registration and processing the release - would be refunded (we would not reduce the amount by the time value expended ... this was suggested by counsel for simplicity).
