I have seen many Realtors spend money banking on a closing and end up in debt.Not saying that someone might pass away and the little old lady agrees to allow you to do a lease option with a promise as an option price, but spending time looking for her is going to be, IMO, in the end, a waste of valuable time where you could be making money.A seller will ask to see your ability to perform under a contract, the bigger the deal, the more hard nose they will be.

It is more focused on rehabbing but I find it valuable as well.My focus is currently on wholesaling while working fulltime so I don't have the time during the day to do everything that I would like.
