Let me know if you want to see an executive summary. 

If I come accross a listing of this agent again, I'm going to go at it like I've never met him before....with a 'normal' seller he is probably a perfectly decent agent.I didn't have an executed contract with the seller. 

I've been investing full-time since 2005.I highly recommend you attend the Charlotte Deal Maker Session meetings which meet the first Thursday of every month at 5pm at the Crowne Plaza Executive Park.

Their jealous of the Chinese guy who owns the building and they want to take a shot at you.You wrote:"My insurance company sent me a special message and warned me not to rent the house to the tenant with 6 types of dogs, pitbull is one of them"And if you go against the terms of your insurance contract they may cancel your policy, and that's going to start a series of other problems.Take a stand NOW otherwise you will be vulnerable to such attacks in the future.Let this PROBLEM be an OPPORTUNITY for you and ask people here for a good PM.When you get a few people to interview present THIS issue and ask them to advise you:1) right there on the spot.2) in 24 hours, ie after they've been able to reach out to their own sources for the best way forward.W,

If they want a premium then they typically will have to wait for a long time under contract so I can get everything approved and have an executed lease with a tenant in hand.I have to know I can get premium rents to be able to afford the land.

This would seem a logical extension of that to educate and counsel sellers who are vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

No pics of the inside-if the property is occupied most owners would prefer the broker not disturb the tenant and that they further have no knowledge of the sale until a contract is executed.

Make goals, start learning, execute, continue learning and refining your goals along the way.

I cannot stress enough that reading a lot is going to give you the knowledge you need and more confidence when it is time to execute.

In the future you could ask the wholesaler to execute a double closing to help alleviate the problem.
