Is it me being a new investor or are the deals (rehab and "turnkey") posted in the Marketplace a bunch of losing properties?

I can more than sympathize with the desire to save that $10k selling costs if it makes sense, but I would just urge you to consider whether you are being short-sighted by doing so.  

If you are not in the right market you will lose money, rationalize the losses, and lose more money, get frustrated, and give up.  

I'm purchasing the house without a financing contingency, so if my lender says "no" for some reason, I'm still stuck with the house or losing my EMD.I've had to point out to several highly experienced real estate agents in this area that no checking the boxes for financing is NOT the same as an offer that I'll be paying cash for.To OP, it's possible that your HML's POF letter is written sub-optimally and that some minor modifications would satisfy the seller/AM.

If I'm right in that Warren is right, then his short term under performance may very well be due to short term irrational pricing in the markets more so than his losing his investing mojo.

I know people say there is 'plenty to go around', but the fact is, the more buyers there are, the more it drives prices up and we all lose.

To be honest, this is posted in hind sight.  

IE basically the turn key markets I would also want a deposit that I could draw on for maintenance calls. and that the owner would need to replenish.. what happens is you have a sewer leak.. tenant is in a world of hurt.. owner is gone on vacation and won't communicate.. bill is 1k.. no money to pay for it.. so PM not wanting to lose a renter and doing the best they can fronts the 1k..

I have a lot of money tied up in the house, but I fear if I sell too soon I will LOSE money, I don't want to lose money obviously.3.

I want to wholesale a deal to get my feet wet in this industry but I was just wondering how much money I need and how much money i could possibly lose?
