Why do I get 30+ text messages, phone calls, and snail mails a week from random wholesalers wanting to buy my property for pennies on the dollar? 

If you insert a random number when you shop deals around, you are going to lose credibility real quick.To follow up on @Erich Beyer's point, When you wholesale, your profit is the difference between what you get the property under contract for and what you sell it for. 

Random day in month 3 or 4, and month 7 or 8 on a 12-month lease.

Basically you can't just come up with a random number and call it a day, you need to be able to support it, preferably with a source document. 

I have had other problems but never one where they just randomly decide to make a big purchase because they don't want to get stuck with the bill.

I only have properties in south city, but the big things that I have seen most inspectors look at are:Smoke detectors-location and workingCO2 detectors-location and workingHouse numbers on the front and backThat there is hot water, the sinks do not leak and the toilet flushesHandrails are where they are supposed to be and solidOther than that, they might hit some random things but I think if the property looks nice and they get a good feeling about a property, they give you the benefit of the doubt.

This is a scam 100% never go with guys who randomly approach you on facebook.

@Charlie Moore The REALLY important QUESTION is WHY you HAVE all THESE random CAPITALIZED words IN all OF your SENTENCES and THE huge GAPS as WELL.

These will result in meaningful changes to returns for specific properties but will be random and non-predictable single events in nature.  

In pure capitalism, it is inevitable that randomly, one competitor in an industry eventually gets so big such that they can acquire, squash, and price out any future would be competition.
