I was not trying to be negative, but simply pointing out the world typically response to what you make of it.  

Most of the negative feedback on BBB has to do with their lack of responsiveness, which could be a growing pain issue since they are affiliated with at least several large REI groups that I am aware of, so are presumably overwhelmed with new business right now.

A lot of this type thinking is a result of the individual having no understanding, or conception of interest, principal or “the time value of money”.  

If you pay more, you won't meet your metrics and will probably have negative cashflow and/or equity.You may have to make 10, 20 or even 100 offers to get one accepted at the price that meets your numbers.

To everyone on the wholesaling forums, understand this:Focus on learning from those with real experience and a proven track record of success.Don’t waste your energy on negativity.

@Chad Verdesorry if this comes off as negative / discouraging but rates are high so this is likely what i call expensive money.now on the other hand, if you can do a cash out refinance, pull cash out, still cash flow, AND you have a specific opportunity - fine. 

With such low rental yields, the return on investment (ROI) and cash-on-cash (CoC) return are negative when factoring in mortgage payments only, not including any other factors.In this market, it seems almost impossible to make a profit using traditional rental property investing strategies.

If the answer to both added questions would be "yes", then you have a potential goldmine here.Combining the seller's concerns, and the reality of a big down payment being a negative to the seller (see Q: 1), you should be able to set the terms, with a lower DP, and controlled interest rate, to have this property CF and,...be able to sell the package to another REI down the road,...as long as you buy this using an LLC (a new one). 

If someone posts something negative about me that is not true and I request them to retract it and they do not, they will be getting sued for enough that they will never consider doing it again.  

I am a first-time investor and am looking for a location (hopefully) where I can get decent appreciation while not having the risk of crazy negative cash flow (like one sees when doing the math on opportunities in Seattle, for example).
