Hassles, perceived or real, are where the good deals are.  

I want to start at 18 with some wholesale deals, but I'm just so worried about how others would perceive me!

I got a email list from my State Banking Commission and emailed several hundred registered MLO folks and found many were MLO's for banks and they perceived my offer a conflict of interest.I did find someone qualified 75 miles from my market, yet did not like his attitude so passed him by.Since taking the class I have underwritten several small dollar amounts myself (NOO) having a real estate attorney review all paper work prior to moving forward.

@Andy Tomlinson    Many brokers perceive different RE related events as liability.. from building homes to fix and flip to owning rentals. 

I had simply hoped to find an understanding of the issues and relationships, real or perceived, which i have found; and some resources with which to move forward.Thank you all for candid input.

The key is that there is no real or perceived reciprocity. 

Gaurav, you have been given wise advice by our learned BP Brothers.Here is my .02:This sounds like your personal residence v. a rental property.So if the missus has already mindfully moved in, this is a subjective purchase. . . . rather than just about the numbers.If it is a good deal, and it is what your gut says. . . then suck it up and pony up the piddly $8500, the appreciation will eventually erase whatever perceived mistake you feel you have made.If you get an attorney involved and suing for Action for Specific Performance, it will cost you thousands to donkey punch the seller into complying.Of course don't just lie down.

After all, people will perceive you as a big shot, the biggest name in town?

Take what you perceive as a negative your age and make it a positive.

To write a marketing paragraph like this is simply to mislead that the location of that house has an upside.I have a handful of investors who used to want that low income, high risk property -high perceived ROI.
