Some wholesalers offer their addresses pretending to be a buyer.

Pretend to buy a house and use the calculators!

Pretend that you are buying something rent ready for $100k, you only have to put $25k down, plus some closing and holding costs.

It cuts down on people stealing your ad and pretending to be you.I would also post on Zillow and FB marketplace.

Minus all the moving around (not active duty).PRETEND YOU'RE BROKE WHEN YOU'RE FIRST LOOKING AT DEALS.

That's all wholesaling is as it's taught in these programs, it's brokering real estate except instead of being up front & telling the distressed seller that you'll sell their property for X amount & take X amount as your commission / fee you are taught to lie to the seller & pretend you are going to buy the property while you secretly attempt to "assign" your contract.It doesn't work.

Personally, I'm not a fan of pretending not to be the owner.

Michael...if you don't want to answer that question it's fine...but please don't pretend like it's ridiculous because you know there's no answer you can give that won't eventually point to some intangible element that allows one RE agent to earn a higher average rate per hour of time invested than another RE agent. 

None of this back and forth, smoke and mirrors stuff, going through the wholesaler who is pretending to the seller he's buying it.I'm starting to think it might be better to buy MLS deals at a higher price but at least with a more straight forward manner of doing business.
