Tactics like this just give RE investors a bad name.Tell me about the "deal" and I'll tell you why no one is interested.

., Dev Horn, Rick the Probate Guy, etc for virtual mentorship (whether they know it or not...heh), this kind of news makes me feel pretty damn good about how my gameplan compares to that of the competition.Employing the kind of tactics stated by the OP is akin to going to Tijuana for plastic surgery because it's cheaper...bad idea.The consensus seems to be that this is a strategy taught by a "guru"...wait, someone charges money to provide this kind of advice?  

That sounds like some fraudulent, pressure selling tactics to me.

I’m here to make money over time and for me this has worked and until that changes I won’t change the tactic.  

Thank you... hard lesson learned after doing this for over 5 years...but the strategy you suggested sound more like a scare tactic.

Quote from @Adrian Clapp: Twitter has not paid rent for its global offices or San Francisco headquarters in weeks, the report said, as Musk’s team has been trying to renegotiate the terms of the company’s lease.https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/1...Actually that is a common tactic when a commercial tenant is losing money and office space is so available. 

They used a lot of motivational and testimonials tactics and promises of tools they will provide to get you going in the RE Investment business if you go to their 3 day workshop for a $2000 fee.

now i've heard that once you have a signed contract with the seller to record it at your local court house which they say will put a cloud on the seller title which will show your interest in the property and will make it hard for this problem to happen, is this true and is this how all of you do it.4- and my last question, from my research on wholesaling what the investor is really do is turing their purchasing agreement into a option agreement, so my question is what strategies and tactics do you guys use in your contracts or conversations to by time to find a buyer for the property ((which i know your suppose to have a buyers list but sometimes your buyers may not be interested or are to busy with other projects and etc))i even read some past post were people said they wouldn't even go into a contract with the seller if they didn't already have a buyer lined up for it, now i know i'm a beginner but to me that can be smart but also very stupid, especially if you know your getting a great deal on the property (see all property and property conditions are different, for example you might not have buyer/investor in your list that likes rehabing burnout places and etc), so if your not risking much on the earnest money deposit i think who cares and just tie the property up and search for a buyer the reason i ask this question is because from my logical way of thinking, i think the seller of the property would think if you were interested in their property and their price and you have cash, why don't you just straight out buy their property a.s.a.p instead of waiting at some later date, so what are some ways to explain your late closing date to them so you can hold up a closing before your contract expires to find a buyeri hope i'm not asking for to much info, i will appreciate any response. thank you

If I was buying from a wholesaler I dont put much faith in their numbers , mine are what matters  Thankyou Matthew I will definitely use that tactic for now on.

But then, services like Yelp, BBB, and history of license board would probably help reveal if this was an honest mistake, or a common tactic by that contractor.
