I have no objection to paying a reasonable wholesale fee but it's getting ridiculous.

Markets at the national median price will rarely cash flow, however, that doesn't mean higher priced markets aren't good investment markets if your objective is appreciation.

I'm sure your biggest objection is that you learned something different than what you set out to learn.

If the inspection revealed items that are not as you want them to be or not as advertised, you should be able to cancel your contract utilizing your inspection objection clause and receive your earnest money back.If you want to move forward, you can try to utilize the fact that one furnace is old, but the difference in price is not going to be all that different.

They cash flow very well with one property taking in $2,425 a month ($29,100 annually) and the other $2,245 a month ($26,940).I’m actually surprised at the hurdles I’m encountering trying to get someone to loan against these properties, even at a 50% LTV (conservative estimates are each building is worth $225k - $250k).Some of the more common objections I’ve heard are:“We don’t loan to out-of-state owners.”

I think one of the biggest problems I saw in folks' complaints, while working for an AMC, was undue influence via threats of complaints to the Appraisal board for no good reason or jamming objectively bad comparables down their throats and demanding they are used.

i went to Floor and Decor store and scratched their expensive vinyl plank with a sharp object, and they all scratched.The only thing that didn't scratch was ceramic/porcelain tile.

Many here will object to that, but....it can lead to a good deal on a lower commission property because the majority of agents don’t show that property, which leads to less competition....it has worked out well a couple of times for my clients. 

WS only objective is to maximize their own gains.

For me, this was a shiny object; I'm sticking to long term rentals in cash flowing markets.
