Uncovering those great deals is the service a wholesaler provides for which they get paid.If you are just finding listed properties, you aren't providing much service.  

The best summary of why the BBB is both irrelevant and deeply flawed is this article by TIME: http://business.time.com/2013/03/19/why-the-better...Cozy is built on transparency, and we do everything we can to live up to that core value. 

Given the current flaw in the title, how likely is it that if I do a quiet title suit an interested party will step forward and try to reclaim the properties...and if that were to happen would I lose my investment (ie: the county does not guarantee clean title...so I'm assuming the sale is at the buyer's risk)?

It's more of an assumed ability to borrow + down payment.I'm sure I could qualify to borrow more with my credit history and debt/income but for my first property I'd really like something I could easily afford the mortgage on if the property was vacant for a month or two without any financial discomfort.Let me know if you think this strategy seems flawed - I am completely new to this, constructive criticism is welcomed.

“Going for the no” is designed to uncover the truth.

@Benjamin Haberman I am not sure if this what you are asking, but I closed on a 3/2 in June with 203k loan and the termite inspection uncovered one tunnel towards a corner of the house.

Fatal flaw, that one.

This as a way to keep everyone honest.Is there a flaw in that plan?

You don't want to uncover them in the middle of your project if you can avoid it.We do them every time now.Andy

Luckily soon after uncovering my problem, I seemingly found my solution, 203K loans (thanks federal government!).
