I have been investing for almost a year now - mainly wholesaling.

REOs were mainly what the investors wanted before.

We all have different credit scores and one of my friends has a pretty low one (mainly due to personal stupidity).

Otherwise you have to double close, and if they use a lender, you can have lots of hurdles.

If I am buying a house that I don't feel as comfortable with or that is bigger than I normally deal with then I factor in a higher profit margin for myself to protect myself from the risk.In my market I deal mainly with properties under $50K.

The main problem is you didn't come on here and ask for advice BEFORE you mortgaged your dad's shop to pay off personal debt.

My main purposes for joining is to ofcourse learn, as well as seek out investment opportunities.

I was mainly concerned about the time school would take away from learning REI but I guess If I really want this I need to find a way to make it all happen.

Of course, they'd like a cash offer because it's one less hurdle which may stop the deal, but it's not paramount.

Kristian, do you sell mainly retail or do you have what you consider to be wholesale offerings among your 660 listings?
