They won't be impressed with guru stuff either, not off the bat.What will impress them is your actual knowledge of RE, your market, assessing repairs and valuations that may lead them thinking in conventional terms of selling at which point you can then introduce more creative solutions that may fit the circumstances and solve the seller's problems,To do that you need to know RE, not methods of putting square pegs in round holes, you need to begin with the basics in the principles of real estate and then evolve to higher levels to suggest sound solutions.Knowledge can overcome the obstacles you may find in being taken seriously.

I'd love to know some of your methods/people you are targeting.I actually have my license but don't use it.

You follow the best methods, and most often it will work out, but not always...

I used this method to estimate my repairs when I first started.

Well, I'm surprised, really, wholesalers on here usually advocate all kinds of dodging tactics, schemes and devious methods, good to see honesty prevailing.

RE law, title requirements, valuation methods, settlement requirements, types of interests that may be conveyed, financing, you know, the basics of RE?

What products/methods have people used to help "soak up" dampness and moisture in a basement?

This method has worked well for me, never have to worry about any legal issues with rejecting tenants and have never had a property sit empty for more than a week. 

This is not a get quick method, as our goal is long term.

Anyone selling a property or the rights to purchase a property may sell to any buyer for cash or using financing, but getting financing will have some difficulties in the wholesaling method, and why most seek cash buyers.
