My question is am I getting too greedy or am I making the right decision to maximize my cash flow?

Dont get to greedy and you can do quite well with it ..

Be willing to work the deal with them and don't be greedy.

Thinking only of the upside and not the downside risk; not understanding the dynamics of how to maximize the former or protect against the latter.Being greedy when others are greedy and fearful when others are fearful, rather than the other way around.Trying to blindly copy strategies that they heard worked for a friend of a friend of a friend in a different market a year ago without thinking through and understanding if, how, or why this strategy works (or not).There's more, but these are the common ones that come to mind ... lord knows I've been guilty of more than a few :)

You can be a greedy, sleaze-ball and trick a certain demographic into buying a mobile home with empty promises of glory and wealth, and then hammering them with high cost later.

Over the last two years I am averaging 1 out of 7 all from the MLS (there was one from a wholesaler but it was previously on the MLS - he beat me to it and wasn't too greedy).

Kevin Tunney - I certainly agree with your post, however, here is teh thing: Most wholesalers who market other wholesalers deals, mark up the deal a second time (too greedy or too ignorant i guess) and it makes the deal not only too convoluted, but not a deal at all.Secondly, if you locked a deal and sent it to your entire buyers list, and none of them pulled the trigger, that tells me that you either don't have a good enough spread in your deal, or that your buyers list is too small, or that you locked a deal that did not meet any of your buyer's criteria.It is these reasons why I continue to preach that buidling a quality buyers list and getting each of their criteria is so important.

.** And lastly, I don't want to sound greedy, but I am in need of some additional funds for my own REI projects... and wouldn't mind getting some kind of compensation in there as well.Please let me know if there is any additional information needed!!!

You're an active trader, so you know how intense the business can be.

New Starbucks, Home Depots, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and higher-end restaurants tend to be indicative of a community where the median income is good and population is growing.
