They're probably in distress to be calling you, so you playing games with their finances like that can do some real damage if you don't perform under the terms of your contract.Btw, I have to agree that wholesaling is simply brokering without a license the way it's being taught in some places...lots of people with no education trying to flip with no money, no experience, no knowledge out there muddying the waters.We all gotta start somewhere I guess, but man they've distorted what wholesaling is to sell books and courses IMO.

Another item to consider: if your contractor can't afford gas to come do a bid, he may lack liquidity and cash to perform his services without coming to you with his hand out. 

IMHO any contractor that doesnt  have a signed contract detailing the full scope of work to be performed , and earnest money from the customer , is setting themselves up fpr failure .

All told, my reason to walk away from Buildium after the trial period was a personal decision and not based on the poor performance of the software.

If you have recently purchased a property using a 1031 Exchange and the property isn't performing as you had hoped, you can more than likely sell it today and qualify for a 1031 exchange.

Once in a decade type stocks albeit in hindsight will and absolutely beat the pants off run of the mill rentals or even top performers.

Traditional and Roth IRA accounts do not allow you to perform that with those accounts. 

You cheerfully perform all tasks, proactively look for ways to help, and passionately learn as you go.  

@Michael Haynes who in their right mind would invest in mutual funds that have high performing fees and fail to be the market over any sustained period of time.

The options I see are: (1) buying cheap and eventually finding portfolio lending once I hit 10 loans, (2) buy more expensive properties but make sure to always hit my desired COC percent, 1031 when necessary, and hope to find 10 high performing properties that cash flow at ~$6,500/month, (3) sell the bulk of my assets and find an apartment building once I've gotten enough equity/experience to qualify for a commercial loan.
