So to some degree that looks a bit more like the multiple foreclosure or BK defense attorneys local to the subject property state and only reviewing/working on assets within their jurisdiction.

At a conference I went to they said fully managed 30-40% was about right for total expenses.

Lest we forget, it was the 'really smart guys who we should blindly trust because they work for banks' who got the ball rolling down the path to financial destruction, realized in 2007, not Cleetus the Slack-Jawed Wholesaler.Sure, it's honorable to come to the defense of the desperate seller who gets taken for a ride by an ill-prepared 'wholesaler' who, for whatever reason, can't close.  

I just returned from a 5 day Noteworthy Conference where there were two vendors selling self-servicing software.

I'm 28 years old, a veteran (former Army Ranger) turned defense contractor in the DMV area.

Having the forced savings account of paying down your mortgage and most of your net worth in a primary home is a great defense against inflation.
