Of all these properties, I’ve seen two in real life before purchasing.Slight difference, he's a wholesaler:1) Has no clue of the mystery true buyer will give him a fat check or not beyond his own say-so.2) Has $0 dollars tied in escrow so no loyalty to the deal, which I think is immoral to make the seller take all the risk in reliance3) Thinks he's screwing over the seller at a low price.

And THAT's the truth of what people think when there looking at these generalities; "oh, which is EASY, which can I do, pay almost no attention to, do next to nothing, and just cash fat checks".....

Lot of my friends did it and it killed their Saturdays for a while but they're fat now on that cashflow!

I am in Chandler (next to Tempe) so I'm going to set up a meeting to meet Gene in person soon.I am interested in this space and I can lend on these properties so I have high hopes :)DeWitt
