The investor is now dragging their feet and it's got me feeling like I need to come up with a contingency plan.Any ideas/leads on creative financing for the downpayment/funding the whole deal?

Never trust wholesalers they have no duty to you to tell the truth.so that being said.. just use them as a lead source.run your own comps. do your own inspections and have your rehab crew give you estimates.

The down side to Latin America is that the government can change at any time leading to civil unrest.

This can lead to faster leasing and fewer vacancies. 2.

Do you all obtain leads for both absentee owners and probates from these services?

Initially I listed for free on Zillow4 days ago paid flat fee MLS to list on MLS and have zero leads from there

I need someone to really lead me to a site where I can watch an actual wholesale.

My belief is that all this leads investors to take mediocre or poor deals, some of which will go bad in a deep 1980s type recession - should we ever see one again.  

This deal reaffirmed the importance of identifying properties where minor improvements can lead to substantial returns.

They want us to sign up with them so they can send us the "leads" to go out and fix their properties.
