Seems poor taste to me, but if you're going to pursue it I'm sure the timing would be important.All the Best,  Merrick

Good taste in 2nd home locations....!

This will give you a taste of property management and real estate ownership.

I will admit that I am new to wholesaling and after reading these responses, I can understand why wholesalers can leave a bad taste in someone's mouth.

No big McDonald signs or Burger King but instead small sign out front that is tasteful and appealing.    

I work a day job and flip on the side so my time in finding is limited in finding offline deals.Maybe I'm just ranting but I've always had a bad taste in my mouth with wholesalers because I see it as a quick, middle man way to earn a profit? 

Chris is right....Save your $$$I attended it some time ago as I was a HUGE fan to the Rich Dad series. ( I still am) Sadly I was left with a sour taste in the mouth.

You might say finding these chefs is more work but if you ever tasted the rewards of that work, you will never go back to McDonald's - except maybe to punish yourself :).

Alternatively, do a 75% LTV (Still a slam dunk) and use the remaining $100K to remodel to your tastes, accelerate retirement savings, do a bit traveling, etc (or any combination).As always, check with an accountant especially as sounds like your first time dealing with these issues.

As to Decatur, its population has basically been level (0.2% annual growth) for the last 5-years and is a bit too speculative of a play for my taste.
