What’s the difference between 4 figures and 5 figures being locked up for 30 days until you close?

Keep building that network, and best of luck locking down your next property.

I was able to lock in private money to purchase the first of the two properties with plans of doing a BRRRR.

If you had a locked door or no access to that area that would typically suffice.

Plus, with your market's rapid development, you could lock in your gains now while the market's strong.

If tenants get locked out, again call a locksmith and have the tenant pay for it. 

The good wholesalers will have experience, knowledge (provide accurate ARV estimates or at least close), integrity in putting together win-win transactions, and a list of actual real cash buyers ready to buy (or capital/ capital partners to close on the property themselves if they can't find a buyer), so that the seller isn't left in the lurch and harmed by having their property locked up by someone who doesn't actually have any buyers or a clue on how to sell the property, or any money to buy it.

I'm hoping to lock down my first investment property in CA before the new year, God willing!

So as to not rehash everything here again this week I'm going to lock this post as well because I do feel that the information that needs to be available to the public to make informed decisions is out there, and I don't want this to turn into trolling with no educational value to the community.

Lawyers will always tell you the maximum protection devices available.
