If it's in writing, you can give the exact same answer to everyone, which demonstrates you are treating everyone equally and honestly. 

My partners and I like to include Team Bios that demonstrate we have a team in place with experience and the ability to perform.

Whether that stipulation in the lease is enforceable isn’t related to whom it’s enforced against unless it had some implied or demonstrative unequal application.

The only challenge I could see would be how you demonstrate your intent to hold for productive investment use. 

Especially if you're not an experienced wholesaler and/or can't demonstrate how you have a killer deal on your hands.

I believe one of the owners of Performance is also an attorney.I've dealt with M&M a lot, as have a couple of my agents (acting as agent or principal), and also my husband on the lending side - literally every transaction has resulted in frustration due to varying levels  of incompetence demonstrated by their staff.As far as real estate attorneys go, it really depends on what you need.

While a dollar can work, it usually demonstrates that you are randomly sending out hundreds of offers (usually sight unseen) and do not really care if it’s a yes or no.  

I have 2 choices: 1) Pony up the $3,000 out of MY pocket to get the job done (I don't need to bring this money to closing, but I do need to demonstrate to the HML lender that I have the funds to make it happen), or 2) Simply adjust my budget down by $3k.Let's say that the lender charges the following:3% origination fee ($65K *.03) = $1,950Appraisal Fee - $500 Pro-rated Interest (one month) - $380 Title Search / Title Insurance - $175 Pro-rated Property Ins. - $100 Pro-Rated Taxes - $400 Settlement Fees - $400 Recording Fees - $100 Wholesale fees (if applicable) - $500 Since "No Money Down" is not an option, I'll will need to pay these fees up-front in order to get my $65,000.

Keys to the business:  attitude, persistence, product knowledge and training (knowing how to properly inspect, make a listing presentation, demonstrate a property, and CLOSE.)This is a wonderful business. 

So more important than location is going to be the demonstrated experience of your QI.
