Total monthly debt includes expenses such as mortgage payments (made up of PITI), credit-card payments, child support and other loan payments.

Making this a win-win.Real estate wholesaling is my major goal for this year, so I am ready to hit the ground running and I am ready to work.Glad to be here and thanks!

Should be a win/win! 

I would even send thank you cards around holidays to show that you appreciate their services.

However all they do is essentially apply for a bunch of credit cards on your behalf.
