I've found the only thing a wholesaler should be concerned about is making sure the deal is actually a deal and getting word out there to as many investors as you can because in the end, sophisticated investors have their own criteria for buying and do not need to be "sold."

Big goals, small steps.I've read my books on the subject (20-25) and I feel confident that my analysis tools are getting more sophisticated and more accurate.

The learning curves are different due to the difference in collateral and borrower sophistication.

Usually sophisticated investors who try to take advantage of newbies will offer to do installments.

So, the fact that the wholesaler is making a lot of money on the deal altered your perception of the deal, correct?

More importantly your buyer is at all sophisticated they should want a full title search and probably title insurance.

Instead, they prepare you only to get your first job and impart a general "employee" mentality, a perception that life is really only about a series of escalating job positions and promotions.

A sophisticated strategy where timing and negotiations are important.

They are very sophisticated investors with a lot of experience.
