The truth is, he would love to marry a beautiful woman, but he feels inadequate, is unwilling to put in the work, or fears failure.Jake avoids pursuing relationships with attractive women, convincing himself they wouldn't be interested in someone like him.When he does meet a beautiful woman who is kind and down-to-earth, he becomes distant or dismissive, focusing on minor flaws to justify his lack of interest.

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.

Currently looking on Zillow and Redfin, but no lack-good opportunities.

While it appears many rookie investors tend to struggle to hit the ground running due to lack of capital / financing, I have the opposite problem.

I'm not saying all wholesalers are bad apples, but I have seen way too many vulnerable homeowners be taken advantage of for this not to a problem.

They were lacking in accounting which is why we switched, but I heard since they have gotten better accounting features.
