A buddy just closed on 242 units while deployed.

@Jordan solomonUpside down sellers are distressed,true.But you may help them by directi g them to a realtor buddy for a short sale.As a wholesaler you want a good/clear title and an upsidedown seller will not have that by virtue of what he owes the lender.

All of this needs to be disclosed to underwriting department of your main lender on day 1.The advantage of doing it this way rather than just seasoning the funds:- Your private lender buddy actually has some assurances that they will get paid back because it's secured by real estate, which means they should be willing to offer you a better rate.

It is usually a phone call to an investor buddy who needs inventory and I have too much.

So, I had torn it up, and hired a buddy to put my new carpeting in.

An investor buddy of mine is a carpenter, and I bring him along when I look at properties I am seriously considering, so your expertise can definitely add value to investors, and serve you as one. 

I've got a buddy who works at one of the larger furniture stores in the country managing all of their inventory and systems.

My one buddy figures he put $5,000 down in closing costs. 

I'm guessing you could make it all back in 10 years if you wanted, so rather than be defined by a dollar value, be someone who's a great significant other to "the one", awesome son, loyal friend, good buddy, who happens to also be wise with money.

@Dev Horn, my husband's response to my endeavors is almost like this:..there were two buddies, Teban and Goliat, who took a vacation together and for the first time in their lives took a flight to get to their vacation destination.
