Additional off-street parking and super customizable private back patio along with front yard perfect for entertaining.

I've been using the wholesale calculator to check my offer with 0 profit on wholesale, it just seems to low, no one will entertain it, or we will look like a joke...

At first I did well at screening the recruiters and than one got through the gate-keepers (I believe pretended to be prospective client) and all but begged for just 5 minutes, I had sympathy for her effort so I entertained her.

I'm not much of a hunter, myself, though your analogy makes perfect sense (and was quite entertaining at the same time).

However, the seller also mentioned a ball park price that he would entertain for an offer, my other idea was to request a second pre-qualification letter based on the ball park price he mentioned. 

Before you list, id call every local bank who will entertain a conversation.

I was far too high on life in L.A. and wasn't entertaining much thought towards goals or my future.

I find it hard to even get banks to entertain that without going to FHA route. 

Personally, positive cash flow and some appreciation is more appealing to me for a lifestyle than struggling with good appreciation and hopes that the market won't adjust drastically and ruin the prior 5-10 years.If Florida is a state you're entertaining, let me know and I can offer you information and support there. 

If you're trying to finance 100% of the purchase, I think you're going to have a hard time finding lenders to entertain that scenario.
