Usually b/c if the deal is so amazing, the money is rarely the issue, and b/c those people that do have the money thus get to cherry pick for the 1 in 10 or 1 in 15 that is the MOST amazing of "amazing deals." 

Real estate is so localized that most federal based policy changes don't have massive influence.I can see him (semi-)privatizing Freddie/Fannie.

This is a story from my past that provides a perfect example as to why investing in tax liens at auction is so dangerous for any but the most experienced and knowledgable investors20 years ago I purchased a SFR as a long term rental investment that sat on a double lot.  

If the deal pencils, the underwriting is so much easier.

That is so kind :) Definitely struggling now though as I've said- in trying to figure out what next steps might be. 

That’s a critical distinction because our industry is so much about trust, empathy, and truly connecting with a seller.

But just hating on wholesaling in a wholesaling forum is so unbelievably pointless. its not dead per se  but it is starting to be regulated as it should.. oregon just passed their version. where to wholesale you now need a license and over site by the RE commission.. along with criminal back ground and a BOND.. and as we know not everyone can pass either of those with the bond being the tough one if you have bad credit your not getting a bond.

Ask yourself: do I really have the knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance; the network of contacts; the experience both in business in general and real estate in particular; the time available; and the analytical ability to compete against FULL TIME EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS to be successful in a field where the failure rate is so astronomically high?  

Properties are not like stocks where After IPO the market cap is so large that that most of the life changing appreciation is gone. 

I'll do this before my tenants move out however, my intention for this is so they can get the most of their money back.
