Too trusting, too lazy, too naïve, too greedy, too egotistical?

so, basically you are looking to buy a house that is worth a potential $170,000 for $85,000. i think the seller would see that as insulting. i understand that if you quickly wholesale it, you stand to make a good amount of money with minimal effort, which is the name of the game, but you also have to look at it from the sellers stand point. they want to walk away from the table with money in their hand too. loosing 50% on the deal is not what they are looking to do. i would offer the $102,000. its a big drop in the amount the sellers would like to get, but lets face it, a " motivated" seller has to understand there is a price for a quick sale. offer the house to your buyer at a decent price to them as well as making a little cash yourself. if you offer it to your buyer for $122,000, you walk away with $20,000 and they still get a house at a $50,000 deduction. everyone walks away happydon't be afraid to offer lower than asking price, but don't come across as greedy either

Instead of incentivizing the REI community, they make us out to be greedy wall street type people and tax the ever living crap out of us and also make it near impossible to evict a dead beat tenant.

Some wholesalers get greedy and don't leave enough room in the deal, but some just don't realize it at first.Your next question "and so I have to make sure to have a contract with the buyer, dictating the when's and how's, prior to assigning the original seller's contract?"

In a business relationship, things can go south real quick and partnerships break up or people get greedy.

A greedy scum bucket investor screwed him over in a rent to own deal and he told me about it.

some dumb brokers are greedy and have an issue with this. 

@Paul Jamgotch I am a buy side trader in the Detroit area.

Mac Trader If she actually has a job and proof of income (to show me it's not a drug dealer) then I'd take the year up front and rent to them provided they had no previous evictions.

It is important to keep the relationship, however, I'm just hoping she doesn't get too greedy with it:).
