I want a good reputation as a wholesaler,  not a greedy or inaccurate one. 

That is a greedy and shady practice if you ask me.One way to deal with foreclosures and bank owned is to find a good local title company to conduct title searches for you. 

Don't be greedy like @Patrick Liska Yes this is a business but I also believe in doing the right thing.

So this means do it right, don’t be greedy, get good legal counsel and live happily ever after.

Everyone wants to get the best deal possible, however if the numbers work and like you said, "never thought they'd accept this offer", don't get to greedy. 

I'm not going to get greedy.

If I was in a market where buying more rental property didn't make sense, I would probably eliminate the little bit of leverage I have, as I'm willing to trade rate of return for principal protection, which is really what you're doing the greater your cash position - not to say your principal can't be compromised (i.e., the house goes down in value), but that you stand lower chance of losing the asset altogether (i.e. you can rent it for really cheap if you had to, or it can be vacant for months because there's no note/a small note to pay).

They will say all you care about is money or that you are greedy. 

Don't be too greedy for your first deal where it will kill your chances of finding a capital partner.

Once it's under contract, do your due diligence and ask other investors in the area to run the numbers WITH you....if you have it under contract, they can't steal the deal from you....if it's good enough, you might just find a partner....I wouldn't get greedy, especially if this is your first deal....because who knows, maybe the next deal will come from a new partner?
