Thanks for the continued support, Emmett, and congrats on all of your success and growing family!

I know our firm starts to modify standard emails and calendaring features we send to clients right around the 2nd week of October every year to address this very issue.  

Well @Stacy Davis I have never done wholesaling, so i might not be the guy to ask, but I might be the guy buying your deals, I did one Wholesale deal of a Multifamily hear in San Diego, and i didn't want to wholesale it, just a client came while i was in escrow, and i Just assigned the contract to the person, yes  you need the earnest money and thats about it. some larger wholesaling companies charge like retainer to make offers maybe thats a path you would like to take. feel free to send me PM and I see if I can help. 

I was hoping I'd find support for whether or not it would be a good idea to get hard money for a 25% down payment, traditional financing for the remaining 75%, with all profits (rent less both loan payments-HML and traditional financing, prop tax, insurance, and 10% maintenance fund) going to the hard money lender under the loan is paid off. 

Real estate is not easy, especially in the beginning, so try to find investors in LI you can work with and see if you can bring deals for them, provide admin support, etc.

I'm a Realtor in San Francisco and my client recently introduced me to BP.  

I made an offer through my agent at $135k that I felt was supported by the comps.The seller countered at $150K (the max I'm willing to pay), so I countered at $142,500.

A number of folks asked about evicting a client in NJ.  

It is a common fee charged by almost all brokerages.....the client either pays it, or the agent pays it out of their commission.  

It's kind of a cat and mouse game in a sense.This is why on my commercial real estate deals with clients we get the property inspection upfront.
