reading through these and other threads on New Western Acquisitions, it looks like the main complain is a) sometimes aggressive marketing and b) some variance in pricing / arv / rehab-coststhe variance in estimates one would get from a wholesaler should be expected IMO - it's the buyer's responsibility to double-check everything and ultimately decide whether it makes sense to pursue the deal or not. nobody is forcing the transaction. but it's also not practical to expect that a wholesaler would always produce a spectacular deal - sometimes you get gems but more often you get duds ;) the only fishy thing that I see so far in terms is the 'wire 5K deposit to our company bank account' - that's just silly... and the argument was - 'well, there were cases where scammers fished title company's wire number and customers lost money'... anyhow, all deals should be done through title, which is what i've insisted on... so, with that, i signed up for their San Antonio list and will sign up for a couple other markets - this is just another lead generator the way I look at it. the volume in San Antonio seems reasonably high - 1 deal a day. nothing that I want to go after immediately though - the ones I saw so far are 20-30% over what I'd pay for to generate returns I wantthanks all for your comments - i will update the thread with my experience as time goes by

I have bought about 35 properties at foreclosure in Cleveland last 2.5 years  Never saw a one.. some we made spectacular money on others we literally  lost money on.. 

Plus, since you are in the Navy, we have 800 miles of coastline!

It works but it isn't spectacular.

Tiny home - expect to get $1,000 per month ($500 per room) - spectacular location to the college, but crazy small.  

In addition, we have more than any other state has to offer, coastlines, harbors, farmland, forests, lakes, deserts, mountains, and a good part of the nations wealth.I'm not saying we don't have issues, but a change in leadership turn California around!

Repped myself, Lowell Collman handled the financing and did a spectacular job.

The support and training are spectacular. 

If something serious or unexpected costly comes up don't hesitate to walk away from the deal or adjust the price.You dont need your first deal a spectacular one as far as cash flow or cap rate.

I'm interested in Merida, Puerto Vallarta and its coastline north and south personally, but open to discussion on anyone's experiences and deals they may be doing in Mexico for sake of networking, information, and experience sharing.
