If you plan on putting a property under contract with seller you must know its a killer deal and have a cash buyer in mind. 1-2K assignment fee is a very skinny deal...

for a KILLER deal.

I will continue to actively look for others in my area to mentor with but until that time arrives I cannot wait as this train will continue to move as fear and inaction is the killer of every GR8 new business startup!  

You can also try vacuuming daily for a week.The best flea killer I have ever used is Diatomaceous Earth.  

Does it make much sense to acquire a property under 125k if the cash flow is good even if the price of the property is just a tad under market price (ie. not a killer deal)?

I did 3 rehabs that one realtor brought me last year that were killer deals far better than I do here in Oregon. 

No worries mate, the time difference can be a killer sometimes.

So I think you can do both and if you find a killer deal in a small town, then yes you can wholesale it and make $, but if you want to do a lot more deals, and sell to a broader range of buyers, I would use the larger cities as your bread-n-butter wholesaling area.Hope this helps and good luck, Brett

I'll be the contrarian view that white appliances are not a killer in a beach house.

The big issue I see with delayed financing is the extra set of closing costs, not a deal killer but I would prefer to avoid it when possible.
