They uncover a lot of problems with these properties.It sounds like you have enough to work with to appeal their process.

I have alot to learn.

Welcome to the group!

I’d be willing to compensate them for their time to discuss. 

Agents and anyone in this industry got lucky and used to the COVID times when things were insane.

I've sent you a connection request and would love to connect to get a better understanding of the market.

Just ensure this is clearly outlined in your assignment agreement.But in my experience, typically the wholesaler submits the EMD with the PSA to the title company for escrow.

If it was me...I'd check with zoning to find out how many dwelling units I could build, and I'd find what the requirements are for those units (type of house, height and setback restrictions, etc.).Then I'd find out what local builders think the cost to construct would be - just get a cost estimate per square foot for 2 or 3 different levels of finish.

So it is worth a lot more to them then it is to me. 

Also an investor myself, id love to talk to you more about the DFW market and what strategies have worked for me over the years!
