Wholesaling, retail real estate and building/remodels take all of my time (plus some), and the absolute dollar margins on flips here isn't worth the hassle to me for a 6 month wait on a payday given the other choices I have to spend time on.In this market (Ohio), doing $5 million in annual sales gets you top 3% of producing agents and teams

If the deal doesn't work out, they worked for nothing but if it does, they get a nicer payday down the road.

And taking into account lessons learned on this one, you'd probably have a pretty nice payday.

I'd rather wait to find the right deal that is going to make for a nice payday then pick up a bunch of properties that will each make a smaller return. 

I am in a community of awesome folks who believe that "to pay it forward" returns the biggest payday no matter what avenues of REI!  

Inept lender for sure.. freaked out   out of state investor But the end game was the last person who ended up getting it for free sure got a nice pay day..

My general location criteria is "more banks than check cashing stores" - I find that safe, "working poor" blue collar areas still tend to have banks, whereas the less desirable low income areas tend to have check cashing / payday loans places.

Whenever those preferences turn again and the burbs are cool again, guess who is in a position to be bought out for a big fat payday?

So while the wholesaler had a nice payday..

So when the houses sold it was a good payday.
