I graduated with a degree in Mass Media and hope to utilize my media skills within the Real Estate world.

I would also want to see prior completed projects, or some other type of confirmation of your skills/expertise. 

Came with soft close, pantry sliders, silverware tray, and I added the crown.

They basically want to ensure that not only the the property cash flow can support the loan but that your financial condition/investment skills can also support the loan Don't sweat the banks too much.  

I had discussed the situation with others outside of this forum, and they had said that I was being too understanding / soft; I had decided on a tougher approach, which is why I put things the way I did in my original post here.

Even more dangerous, it's also tempting to believe that wholesaling is easy and doesn't cost much (I believe it's an acquired skill, that takes lots of investment of time, effort, energy, and money).  

They keep you accountable and a good one will compliment you in terms of skills.  

The skills of wholesaling are similar to a realtor (comps,comps,comps)plus you have to know your rehab costs cold and have end buyers or  joint venture partners lined up  to get the deal done 

.- You need amazing negotiation skills, sharp rehab cost estimation knowledge, and hard work marketing for motivated sellers with equity to give you.Given I see few succeed at wholesaling the advice I give is:- learn creative financing strategies.  

So, that's money and skills few first time buyers have.Plus the tenants in foreclosure multi family neighborhoods tend to be slightly more challenging than tenants in wealthier areas, they may have worse credit for example.
