And you have to be ok with delivering bad news and not be afraid of conflict - because it can spring up at any time.

I agree with @Russell Brazil you don't close if the property is not vacant and delivered as expected.

We will teach you how to find deals, what to say to prospective sellers, how to write and deliver a contract, what is the best exit strategy, what is the best way to structure the deal.

The whole purpose of earnest money is it is basically a bond you are paying the sellers to say you will deliver on sale. 

I'd start by writing what you want your new life to look like then match that to a few areas that can deliver it, the rest will take care of itself.

Additionally, even if it was not illegal, these numbers provided by the original poster do not show enough spread to allow for a middle man to make a profit and therefore it would likely lead to the wholesaler having to use some type of contingency clause to back out of the contract when they cant find the buyer at a price that delivers them a fee.

Every few weeks, Chandler residents get a free newspaper delivered called "Chandler Community Impact". 

Big box stores can take a couple of weeks to deliver and install new ones.

The material will be delivered asynchronously too, so you should be good there!

I think this should be posted on here anyways to help new investors for signs to watch out for when delivering the deal to the end.
