I believe this market cycle is topping, and one should tread very carefully before investing more money into an 'unsure' property.That does NOT mean to stop investing; just make sure you aren't trying to catch a falling knife in an unsure environment. 

@Alex Ng  Not sure if you're local to Birmingham, Alabama, but if you're an out-of-state turnkey investor, tread carefully.

I'm all for calling out scam artists and criminal and holding people accountable to ripping people off.... but tread lightly and be sure you are sticking up for the right person.

After seeing a video somewhere, I made the tool in the photos, using wood, some screws and stick-on rubber safety tread from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/self-adhesive-rubber-safety-step-tread-98856.html.

However, the bar to be a wholesaler can be hurdled by an ant, so tread lightly and certainly don't think he has the best interest for your clients looking to sell their homes at heart. 

You should plan accordingly.If these are "friends-and-family" type private lenders, I would urge you to tread very carefully.

If people think houses, or other assets, go up linearly then I am at a loss for words. i was on a cruise last fall and my wife made friends with a lady in Art Class and it we had dinner with  her and hubby.. turns out hubby was on the Board of American homes for Rent... they own about 30k homes.. they morphed from buying from others to building their own.. and then when rates rose they stopped and are just treading water at this time.. at least thats the report for that company..

Tread lightly there as NY/NYC is a market for seasoned investors so you need to be able to see some of the schemes the buyers (and agents) will try to pull on you early on (too many to list).

Steve is right, you need to tread lightly.

You're treading in RESPA-infested waters there and these are federal, not state regulations.Referral fees for ANY closing services on residential loans are strictly prohibited under RESPA regulations.
