happy to talk but your location may  be different then where I used to do student rental.

My fiancée and I are getting married in November and will be moving into a different rental in another part of town shortly after.

The amount of money you make is in a different digit.

Everyone thinks they can paint but there's a big difference between a professional paint job and a non-professional one (the latter usually actually damages the property instead of improving it). 

And for sure I highly doubt those that teach the common wholesaling techinques are not up to speed with all these new laws in all the different states..

Businesses are the opposite: their primary purpose is cash flow and while you can create a sellable asset, anyone who has ever tried to sell a biz knows it's a lot harder to sell than real estate. 

Talk with a real estate lawyer as this may work a little different in each state. 

I'm now considering expanding my real estate ventures into building custom homes, but I know this is an entirely different beast between the required capital, learning curve, time committment, etc. 

It may be that they are underwriting the property at a significantly different valuation than what you are using or that they feel that you or the deal is excessively risky.

I have been listening to many different BP podcasts for about 4-5 years now.
