I brought an experienced and successful wholesaler in.

Along the same timeline we contracted another property and after a day or two realized that his loan product would not fit that particular property so we promptly told him that we were going to go with a different lender and the guy got very upset and went off on us etc. etc. and even brought up the properties that came back with the lower appraisal.

When the lender brought up the issue, he just said that he needed more backyard space for his kid and it was a non-event.

However, I’ve often felt alone in this journey—especially when making big moves—and that’s what brought me to this incredible forum.
