or is there a smart and legal way to put a contract together which will let the lenders provide me with 75% of the appraised value rather than the contract value?

Beginning wholesaler looking to talk to attorney to find out how to legally wholesale properties in Michigan.

@Dustin Mellor sellers can actually have great control over property after selling, through what's called a "deed restriction", as long as the restriction is legal (doesn't discriminate, etc.)

I used to leverage debt, but not much more for that matter.  50% down is what I used to go for.  

So if anyone else or legal minds have ideas, please share.Thanks,Grace

If you put the $ towards debt you'll still have debt left over but it will get paid off sooner but if you finish the 3rd unit you'll have $1300 extra per month to work with.  

Anyway, I really hope you can recover the fee + legal fees if necessary (if you can).Good luck!

I am not a legal professional and this is not legal advice just personal opinion.

I got away with putting a stove plug, even though I can't "legally" have a stove down there.

If she feels like she needs to take legal action I would like to point her to an attorney that has experience with dealing with apartment complexes.
