Jonathan ,As Josh states a branding that people remember and associate with you is the way to go.I see in your intro that you had a business with your brother.

Remember through the Fair Issac rule you have a 30 day window to allow Mortgage companies to pull your credit.

I remember my 1st flip I did not know what I was getting myself into, but I would not change it.

Remember the people you are meeting with are humans too and you still need to treat them with respect.

Remember the part about having an attorney review them once you do.

Make certain that it is either a Vanity number or easy to remember number...

(remember how I said about 500 chairs...yeah...people were standing).This supposed "dinner" was nothing more than the founder of Nouveau Riche, Jim Piccalo, on a video talking about how wonderful life can be, and how signing up for the school will change your life.

First, I would HIGHLY recommend that you read through the archives in the Wholesaling forum.As for your questions,1) Remember that price overcomes all objections.If you are selling the property where the buyer can profit $15,000 would they be willing to pay you $5,000?

It does not work for most of the investors I deal with, but if the property is being bought as a residence, its not a big deal.

However, as kenvest said, you would need to be able to accurately diagnose potential problems that you see, so therefore getting a professional inspection would be ideal.
