I'm Crystal new to this website have been listening to brandon and josh on YouTube for the past month while trimming mmj in Denver for my job.

Sounds like an uneducated agent and a wholesaler playing games.Likely when based on a close to full price or full price offer there was enough in the deal for the wholesaler fee and the agents commission to be covered.Now that you want to buy it at a severely reduced price the wholesaler is trying to trim the fees to still make it work.This sounds like the wholesalers fault for not getting the property under contract cheap enough.

You can understand how it is easy for me to jump to that conclusion.I wish you all the best in achieving whatever goals you decide to pursue.jeff No offence taken, no doubt my wife and I spend too much and could trim the fat a little.

I was also thinking of removing the trim running along the floorboard to give myself another half inch lol.
