Why did you call the listing agent directly and did you visit the property prior to making an offer?

Thanks for the feedback ahead of time!

Go ahead and re-write your lease.

The home owners did sign the Broker's Right To Sell Agreement and they are willing to pay the Broker's compensation of 6% so my next question would be, since they are willing to pay the Broker their 6% fee can they then move ahead with the sale of the property as FSBO (they would disclose all of this to the Broker of course-complete transparency) and move forward with putting a contract on the house using my Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement and Assignment of Contract Agreement as a Wholesaler of the property? 

Once I found him, and trusted him, I had to visit the property less often (still once every few days as my trust was still building).

When you're getting started you've got plenty of time to go visit people and its a pretty good exercise.

I got intimidated every time I met someone ahead of me in the business because I thought they were a "real" investor, and I was just an imposter.  

Add the cash flow from the 2nd use of the same funds (refi) to the first, and if you are ahead of where you were before you refi'd the first one, then you did it right.

Yes, working on it right now, could not find :( will all county office next and visit them.
