Assuming your title co. is legit, they will not be delivering/recording any deed you signed without receiving the buyer's funds.  

I will concede wholesalers deliver a fast, as-is sale, but the trade off is getting paid less money.

I was delivering pizza, working at Radioshack & stocking pop for 7up. 

Make sure you know what those services are and whether the company can actually deliver over time.3.

As you can see from some of the responses you have received, having a "preferred lender" who can "get the appraisal numbers to work" should bring HUGE RED FLAGS sailing your way.Now, to be fair, sometimes a bunky appraiser can get thrown into the mix and deliver a low appraisal. 

Always have 100% control of your money, or cross your fingers and pray to your god that the person or company you hand your money to will deliver on the promises in his sales pitch that you are well-aware did not include 'The Devil In The Details' meaning nobody told you about the inherent risks nor were you told the true potential or probability for reaching the profits stated.2) "Never believe what someone tells you and never believe more than 2% of what you actually see".

Be a role model not a victim.This is a supportive community, but also one that delivers some "tough love" at times.

Most syndicators are offering what any Tom, Dick, and Harry can deliver.

As someone has already pointed out, if you have a C class property which is potentially going to be real management and rent chasing, then maybe then consider the need to bring in a PM for that property.I could definitely write my own book about self-managing long-distance.My proudest moment was when traveling on a train through a third work country, I had a tenant in Miami who notified me of a broken down washer and I had a new one delivered within hours.

Or maybe not, at least the crack dealer mostly delivers the product you paid for!
