To me wholesaling is just a distraction and even though the immediate cash gain can be good, the real money over the long term as you said is taking down all the opportunites and keeping them for the long term.I need a partner who have the problem of raising "too much money" so that I can combine it with my problem of buying "too much properties" ;)If you or someone you know have that problem (too much money), PM me and let's talk.

Great idea but the constant mapping and analysis was distracting me from going to the streets to TAKE action... 

Being a new agent was just very distracting from my investing.

As it's a few months away, it may be easy to get distracted so a little accountability would be great and keep me focused.

Sounds like you got a raw deal here.If this buyer were an investor, I might pursue legal action, but probably not: It's a costly distraction that won't get you your time back.

I had some big personal things going on in my life that were major distractions.

okay, its been a little over a week since I last updated. was supposed to on Saturday, but I got distracted. so here I am.Since I last updated, I have received the appointment of agent, I have confirmed with the lawyer that he will register the option on title, and I have met with the seller.I had a bad feeling when I first received the A.O.A. form, because the Ed ( the sellers agent ) had put my name as Jason. 

This can be a distraction from you researching, finding good deals, buying, owning and cash flowing more "doors".

One person distracts the leasing agent while the other cases the joint & sets it up for the break in.

It's a distraction.
