@Brie Schmidt I agree with @Steve Vaughan theory of trimming the fat.

Do you have any wealthy family or friends that have a big fat bank account that you could "borrow" their bank statement as proof of funds, then put it under contract and wholesale it?

That would be a big fat NO in my opinion.You are going to entrust 1 million dollars of your money without even knowing if they are qualified to help you??

Getting money back: fat chance, not worth the brain damageGetting a contract release: who cares, just carry on.

I would like to raise the kids till about high school (roughly 10 years away) and sell for millions and move closer to the coast with my fat chunk of change (subject to the future outlook of the immediate area).

I know I have done the run up 4 times sold, got that whopper fat check TAX FREE  that is truly life changing.. you can use those funds to start business's ( which I have done) semi retire ( which I have done)..  

My TX properties, however, are not only appreciating nicely, but every month I also see a nice fat check, which I just save up and then reinvest into more real estate. 

I find folks that use those services run the risk of not making any money as too many fees are built in up front.Keep in mind in your area competition is quite keen.. there are not fat hogs being made in those markets at the FCL sales

They'll sell to the first guy they know who comes to them with a signed contract, a fat earnest-money check, and a promise that the buyers will not back out of the sale.You can expect to haul a lot of dead people's trash out of the places and find all kinds of undisclosed problems with this strategy, but it's been incredibly worthwhile for us so far.

There is not enough fat for another investor to make money from any of these deals.
