Well, if the FMV of the house is at or near $300k based on reasonable comps, and there's no legitimate benefit to the client's offer (i.e. all cash, fast closing, no contingency, whatever), I'd probably quit working with them because there's really little to gain working with cheapskates and bums who just want to steal other people's property.

Particularly power related tools since those are usually discounted for Black Friday. 

what is the benefit of putting a new STR into service towards the end of the year vs the beginning of the next year?

If so then you should have a serious conversation with your cpa to figure out the tax benefits of pursuing one strategy over another?  

However, those few who are financially saavy and have integrity and grit I believe will benefit from it until they are able to have enough experience to go off and do their own thing, charge less fees and be able to have more repeat business while keeping a much higher ROI themselves.And NO, i've never been in this program, been around much longer than he even thought of this revenue stream. 

You're already thinking about long-term benefits, and it's great that you're bringing your contractor husband's expertise into the equation.To alleviate some of the stress, I recommend starting by focusing on quality properties in solid areas where you can add value.

Otherwise a total waste of time and money.Likewise entities, "building my team", "setting everything up correctly" and all that other fluff that benefits only people who set it up for you. 

Hey Tarcizio,I can relate to your frustrations.

I’m relatively new to wholesaling, and I’ve been diving into the process—cold calling, direct mail, and driving for dollars.

Comparing bids would be a good way to do sanity checks on pricing, If they have portfolios they can show you, that will benefit you a lot as well
