I believe I have a good understanding of my role as a wholesaler and want to start right and build my brand.I have a question about your second point: Are you saying the investor would bring the money to the deal?

Only if you succeed would you exercise the option and buy the property and start with the actual development.So, you're going to have to spend some bucks up front and there is a very real chance this will go nowhere and the up-front money will be a total loss.  

You'll get a better deal with them over the ones from the MLS but you should exercise caution as well.Your best bet is to do your own marketing to find deals. 

I have a very limited knowledge, but it is increasing daily by reading forum post, listening to podcast while exercising and just before bed, and talking to my real estate agent that I have used in the past.

With that said, I have been pretty off since I started doing this exercise.

Conventional FinancingWe’ve looked at Portfolio, Private, and Hard Money loans - each of which can play a role in your overall strategy at some point – but what about Conventional?

This is a common exercise we do at Movers and Shakers.Good Luck Investing and we may see you soon!

I work in a program manager role.

This can be frustrating because the risk of not getting compensated for your hard work and protecting yourself and your clients play a big role!
