Okay, so I was on the phone with a seller yesterday and he seemed to be a motivated seller and would like to have this house sold before the end of the year which is like a week and a half or less but I normally use wholesaling as an exit stragey but after learning a little more about the deal it seemed to be something I would like to try as a first flip because its not a total gut job just updating  a kitchen,bathroom and some cosmetic work.

The first car I used for maintenance calls was my buddy's white-and-rust Honda Odyssey with 200,000 miles on the odometer.

So that they have a little on going skin in the game if they feel it is truly a good dealIn my experience I have not seen that.. wholesalers are all about getting paid up front.. end of that discussion.. many need the money to keep feeding the marketing machine and simply are not financially able to take back end profits .. thinks more of a used car salesmen mentality than a sophisticated JV partner

The new Volvo plant is within 30 miles away and has already started producing cars. 

. ;)YUP deals are like street cars there is always another one on the next corner.. that is what my Dads Lawyer banged into my head circa late 60s and into the early 80s. but reality is for most buy hold is what they can realistically do with the capital at their disposal or their ability to finance.deal making and doing development and value add.. just is not feasible for most investors. from a capital standpoint.but when I put up 50k for a new build and 9 months later pocket 75k or more.. after tax  how many months at 200 to 500 a month would it take to make that kind of money.. 

What if he takes a ride w/ the tenant and not in his car? 

Normally my underwriting requires 10% COC but I’m willing to accept less for a no hassle rental I can check on during our yearly vacations and take advantage of some deductions.
