The LA's refusal is a big red flag, since they should present all offers and it's up to the owner to accept or reject.

In one episode he staged a burned down house (completely) with a view by rolling a red carpet through the house, out to the view.

It seems to me that all basic business classes will be applicable to RE, even marketing lol.RE really requires analytical thinking, an ability to creatively solve problems withing given constraints and social skills, but then that could be applied to any career.If I had were an EE, I'd be inventing the latest gizmo widget, a red one, lol!

We were "lucky" because we were 15/15 with respect to profits and didn't have any major bad stories but we followed a conservative route and basically were copycats of the bigger players that we got to know through observation.

Google them and you will see a number of other players, as a result.For your situation, you could borrow some of their ideas on how and who to market your props.

If he had raised a red flag and told you the property was worth much more than this offer, would you have done this deal?

Even the major players get trapped once in a while!

Do not plan to bid at your first-one, just go: observe, learn who the players (high-bidders) are, and get to know some of them if you can.

Wholesaling suffers from the same problem that bulk REO, CRE funding, and several other niche areas suffer from....there are 95% pretenders crowding out the 5% real players.

How many red flags can you count?
