I guess that I'm impressed they not only built out a model that could get with in 7% of FMV for that many homes, had an effective UX that made ppl want to use it, got a system up and running to take possession and make ready for sale that number of homes across such a geographically diverse area during a global pandemic which changed the way ppl work and lead to crazy home prices.

Don’t worry, you are not alone but know this, most of what gurus say regarding wholesaling is a bunch of hogwash worth as much as that piece of gum you stepped on in the street.My best advice here, don’t listen to gurus on wholesaling, it’s just a scam to get your money.
