I highly doubt Paces team does anything more than sell you his system.. no way they are vetting potential borrowers of small EM deposits  :)  many beginning wholesalers do wholesaling because they have no money or credit or credit is tarnished etc.. this is ultra high risk en devour to be loaning money like this to people you are meeting on line..

I had two lines of credit one unsecured for 5 million ( check book) and another for 10 million that we would secure them up with .. but you need time to do that bank required appraisal etc before we could tag the secured line and even at that they only lent 72% in these commercial loan structures..
