HI @Scott Gadea, the answer is:  Save more money ORInvest in a lower cost market Both are methods that people have used for years to generate great amounts of financial stability or wealth, but the latter is a wonderfully efficient arbitrage play AND many would recommend this because of the fact that your home market is a cyclical market and you'd be wise to build assets in linear markets, or at least hybrid markets that blend the benefits of the two.For more information on investing in real estate outside of your home base area, check out David Green's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing

All im asking about is if theres a standard fee for putting all this effort and helping to solve this for them before moving forward? 

Assigning contracts is just one method of wholesaling but if it's the method you're planning on using then you need to invest in understanding the other methods. 

(the Brrrr method) bc I don't have a good score @ the moment?

It's funny - when I first started in RE the BRRR method was scary to me - and now I see it as an essential way to scale. 

Who knows maybe he'll be nice to you, since wholesalers love to solve problems.In any case, READ AND UNDERSTAND ANY SALES AGREEMENT BEFORE YOU SIGN IT.

When will it ease..... when material supply can meet and exceed demand, when labor can meet or exceed demand, that's when new units can meet or exceed or demand..... so call it 2035 or so....You can think kicking 10million "boomers" from their home so millennials can buy them solves it, but where are the "boomers" gonna live????

I plan to purchase a property needing renovations in order to use the BRRRR method which can help me purchase a 3rd and 4th property in the future. 

Thats the basics of the BRRRR method that is advertised around a lot.The usual restriction is the "6 month seasoning" period.
