I'm proud to say that we landed in what I believe to be a better deal: three duplexes from a single seller in a West Michigan location that we are very happy with. 

Take that into account.I firmly believe no investor should invest until there's zero consumer debt, mortgage I prefer paid off too but I get why it's not the highest priority.

Wholesalers are putting property under contract with no intention of buying, so they are technically signing contracts on behalf of others.I believe wholesaling should be outlawed in every state for this very reason. 

I know it has had a rough decade or so but I believe things have been improving over the last few years.

Like they are POed I don't believe their lies.Late is late, I am not a social worker and don't care why.

This was a well oiled machine with not a day going by that emails were not answered.

For a “moderate “ risk private real estate deal knowledgeable, experienced investor want to see a believable return of 12% +.  

We also show properties in person, whereas I believe Nomad uses the "unattended showing" approach.I can't speak for everyone, but my clients seem to really value the fact that RES handles everything for them. 

@Joe Derobertis, I believe you are over thinking things and I can certainly understand that.

But you would be surprised folks either don't believe we do this or they just don't have the drive to go find the deals etc.
