It is encouraged that an agent be present during the appraisal and inspection in case anything is over, or under looked.

And now so close to closing I’m afraid that with it showing as a hard inquiry even though it didn’t affect my credit score that my loan will fall through.Does anyone have any words of encouragement or sound advice?

@Patrick Daniel thanks for the encouragement. i think the competition is increasing because as we approach the summer time, it'll be difficult for me to be competitive. i think i'll be more aggressive come sept-oct. that said, i know i can't use the traditional 70% rule since i'm not going full rehab and rather going the route of livable+small rehab.after hearing a few podcast episodes of bigger podcast, the double close made more sense and jotted some notes. the wholesaler/buyer's list route will require more research on my end especially as it relates to those with a conventional loan. great point to bring it up!

(it's worded much more eloquently in the guidebook, but you get the idea)We ALWAYS check in with our guests - just a quick message to see if they are enjoying their stay, and to encourage them to let us know if they need anything or have any questions. 

Hopefully the forum can provide just the encouragement I need!

I am going to kind of agree with what @James Wise stated and encourage you to skip wholesaling. 

I guess the question of this one was the EM at risk.. or was this true wholesaling where there were still weasel clauses to get out of the deal if he could not resell.Also its not that uncommon for someone to put in a back up offer.. we encourage those as agents.. if we think the first offer is not super solid..

I would encourage you to use the search feature in this forum. 

They have a lot more to gain by being a good partner.One piece of advice that I would strongly encourage: Make sure that the JV agreement spells out who is responsible for what decisions.

You can obtain a plan document from us (without need of a CPA, though we always encourage you to talk with your CPA about all of your financial plans) that allows your 401(k) to buy and sell real estate, have a personal loan provision, have Roth contributions for the participant, etc.
