Quote from @Joshua Alcantara: I’m looking to move out of the current "red ocean" of real estate wholesaling and focus on helping sellers with problematic titles, such as liens, divorce issues, probate, quitclaim deeds, etc.All my previous high-value assignment fees came from working with sellers who inherited properties without a proper deed.

I highly recommend you reach out to him, he is fast, professional, and does amazing work.If you would like me to make that connection, reach out to me.

Rate will also be in the high 9s depending on PPP and credit.
