I would say, secret, which is not one BTW, is try, fail, repeat until succeeding, well in short commitment.By exchanging on BiggerPockets, I think it will be very helpful in knowing where others failed so to try to avoid the pitfalls on which they fell.

I am not sure why wholesalers are so secretive and those that try to hide things or are not clear with their intentions upfront are not actiing in a moral or business like manner.

@Andrew Postell well I wasn't exactly secretive about it when they asked; didn't know I was supposed to be (am I supposed to be?

(I should make a post about  how we jungle people catch fish with out buttcheeks, but I am not going to share ALL my secrets here .. come now!)

There is NO secret to wholesaling and there is no way anyone can guarantee you any success.

Well, real talk, I am not out of the woods just yet, but I did reason with myself, that I do need to do something if I'm going to meet my goal of having 5 houses by year's end. [ and I can do it, you never know ] With that said, I pitched hypotheticals to "friends", who secretly are my list.

It's not a beneficial relationship to a broker/agent for a buyer to take up their time and ask all these things they want them to do but the buyer wants to be a (secret agent) and tell little to nothing about their situation.On the commercial real estate side I require clients before we even start to send financials so I can see their overall picture.

And that’s exactly what I did.I’d figured out a pretty amazing secret.

They have no secrets.

Or am I too late to the Indy party.I found this on realtor.com - its no secret I just want to know if I am analyzing/thinking of this the right way.List Price: $49,000Purchase Price: $44,000 - lets say I can get a couple thousand off and magically get a 30 conventional with 20% DP.Repair Cost: $5,000.00 - Property Taxes @ 2% of list price - could be lowerRent: $650.00If there are any Indy market experts that want to chime in on my rates for vacancy, repairs, and CapEx that would be great.
