We could get involved in a philosophical debate about human behavior and ask why there are bad people in every profession, but wholesalers who purchase a property at a price that makes sense for them and one that they can make a profit is neither unethical nor illegal.   

In short, I did not ever "equity strip" a homeowner, I did not ever lie to the seller, misrepresent myself, or any other immoral behavior often promoted by the gurus who teach "wholesaling".

With that said, I’ve found that whatever the product or service that human behavior doesn’t change that dramatically.

This and other ethically dubious behavior shouldn’t be surprising though since there is no license to become a wholesaler and most wholesalers learn about it through a guru or YouTube personality who says it’s super easy and you can do it with no money.

Sure, but I was suggesting that if that behavior bothered him enough, he could screen for that characteristic and thus have less of that behavior.

It's one thing to encourage a certain behavior, but 100 years? 

Yeah people do a lot of stupid things, except @Jonathan Greene who has never yet done anything embarrassing.just kidding, the truth is I looked through your post history and ALL YOU DO IS COMPLAIN ABOUT NEW INVESTORS So in my estimation, you're the bro, and this kind of behavior makes you a NET LOSS to the community.
