I started a Partnership with some friends and relatives who mainly are Stock Market Investors.The purpose of the Partnership, in this case an LLC, was to purchase a $1.5 Million 3 Family in Brooklyn, All Cash.3 months ago I told everyone to pull out their cash in the Stock Market.They completed their stock sales a few weeks ahead of the Market falling off the cliff.I then closed on the 3 Family at a very good Price, collected a $40k buyer's commission as I am also the Buyer Broker, and just finished renting the 3 Units, signing the last apt lease in a few days, getting approximately $6k per month in Cash Flow for the 1st year.Not only that, I am securing an Investment HELOC at a 50% LTV, so roughly $750k, which I can use to investing in the Stock Market.I had already anticipated the fall of the Market as the inevitable Corporate Tax breaks had to wear off eventually.There just isn't enough consumers that benefited, in my opinion, therefore Corporate Revenues cannot increase and profits has to either stabilize as the max Corporate Tax breaks levels off.Really, only one way to go.I am anticipating the decline to last for a while.As an Trader, however, I will eventually buy long term growth stocks but also hedge it with PUTs in case I get in a bit too early.My friends and relatives are ecstatic as they probably saved a decline in their net worth by as much as a $1 Million.BTW, there is an old saying, "It is easier to make the 1st Million than it is to keep the 1st Million."

Wholesalers have a bad rep because they tend to get very greedy, instead of actually helping the seller and end buyer.

The value is around 350-450k depending on how greedy I get.

To me their response felt like: "You greedy XoX, we helped you make 10%+ ROI so shut up and let us manage your place whatever way we want to.

Some are greedy and want far more than it's actually worth.Be a problem solver and you'll do well.

However, no person on this forum really knows your investment plan, so if this deal fits into your predefined real estate investing plan, then go for it, especially if you know developers prefer two lots over one.Often time I see this behavior with stock traders.

It's one number, how greedy do you want to be?

Dont get greedy and try to make 20k on your first wholesale.

I am what is known as a swing options trader in the stock market community.
