Most won't show until an executed contract.  

The best way I can explain wholesaling is:Simple in concept but difficult in execution. 

Hello all,I am wondering from experienced folks, how to be a good private money lender- or rather protected. what terms do you execute?

Househacking was the easiest way to get into my specific market and a 2-4 small multi is the best way to execute this How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I generally agree with you @James Hamling , but I want to push on the concept that you "make money when you buy".Technically all you've done at purchase is drop a bunch of money and take on even more debt for the opportunity to make money by successfully executing the business plan in the coming months and years.Too many new investors jump into the game thinking they just have to "buy right", and they completely overlook the "execution" phase and how difficult that can be.You're dead-on in the assessment that @Jeff Holmberg is going to make things more difficult than necessary by seeking out sub-par assets in sub-par markets.Jeff, we get the urge to just do a deal, but Buffet's rules of investing (rule number one: don't lose money. rule number two: don't forget rule number one) are critically important.Don't buy a negatively cashflowing asset as a new investor.

Simply ensure you are buying a deal that has equity built in day one, you have a plan to execute and the experience to pull it off.

Among other things, it takes experience, expertise, diligent planning, project management skills, timely execution, access to capital, perseverance, proper market timing and a little luck to consistently make money on flips.

Many of these folks were in the same shoes in the past, and people like to help others who are vulnerable enough to mention they are new and getting started.

All deals basically need three things: the deal itself, the financing, and the execution.
