I've rarely ever had a magical turnover that didn't either take time to get it rented or needed some $$ to make rent ready again.

Not sure how law makers or regulators could penalize supposed wholesale buyers more than they penalize any other buyer that fails to perform.  

I don't advocate getting a 4 year degree in real estate, I certainly don't advocate just learning to be a deal maker approaching houses like a widget either, which is how gurus dish it out.

Spreadsheets really only offer guidance and the final decision maker should be the investor.

As you read financing regulations remember that the "Maker" of a loan is the borrower, not the lender who is an originator.

The company I own is a money maker, but the passion simply is not there.

I like to be a transaction engineer, not a one trick pony.Because in 2016 credit is still tight right now you should look at having a "problem-solving real estate business".I call it "don't be a one trick pony"You should be a problem solver for seller having a few tools, such as sub2, lease options, wraps, etc for acquiring properties on top of listing and buying whole for all cash "as is".So what I'm going to do is to discuss what I would do if I were training my brother or my sister to set up a "terms RE business" so that they can make some money quickly, by "looking for problems".I am the reverse of Jerry Pucket, I farm expireds, cancelleds, long DOMs, FSBOs, FRBOs and Wholesalers that have pretty houses, no work, and no equity.So I would say, if the property is in a nice A B neighborhood, good schools, above the median,"<Name>, it sounds like a great house, I'd love to walk through it and perhaps write an offer"Get all decision makers there.Here is a "cash or terms" lead sheet.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/REISkills...And a long post about a business plan for 2016https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/83/topics/264...

I do agree that untrained real estate consultants may not be the best deal makers but its the job of the seasoned pro to enlighten them on the ins and outs of deal making and like everyone else they will learn and improve in skill over time.

When I come out… it is important…that all of the decision makers be there…. so I can come to an agreement to buy your house… Will all of the decision makers be there for the appointment?

A lot of investor ask "what time can I come out to see the house" And I try an use the statement 'Buy Your House" at least 8 times within my conversation so the prospect knows what I am there to buy their house.One of the last questions isWhen I come out… it is important…that all of the decision makers be there…. so I can come to an agreement to buy your house… Will all of the decision makers be there for the appointment?
