Wholesaling is a business model and not an investment.Second, what makes a good deal depends on each situation, including the seller’s motivation level, as well as the wholesaler.

The main motivator to sell is that I don't want to have to be "on call" all the time.

Unfortunately I not able to ask the owner what their motivation is for selling because it's one of those off market wholesale companies that puts out a list to companies then either the public or agents and either prospective buyers either submit an offer sight unseen or they open the property up for a tour on a certain day and submit a bid after that.

He eventually did get an offer at virtually the ask price; he was not a highly motivated seller so he was going to get close to ask or keep the RE.The financing appraisal came in significantly under the agreed price. 

Be a victim . . . or chalk it up to a "bad day at work" and push through the pain to become the first 100% disabled veteran to re-enlist, help start a non-profit for disabled vets, and become a motivational speaker.Bad things happen to everyone. 

I am motivated to work hard and earn more time with my growing family by one day moving into REI full-time and get out of the 9-5.

Eventually, he  just stopped replying to my calls/text/emails.For the money aspect, I was up front with all of them saying money was not an issue and I was willing to pay to get it straightened out legally. 

The owner has provided the listing agent with the following details:Asking price $795,000 (too high in my opinion, but it has been for sale in years past so I have to think the owner is motivated - so far, numbers only look good in the mid 600k's as a purchase price)Annual gross income $103,000Property Taxes $11,000 Insurance $3,500 Utilities (water, sewage, outside lighting) $8,200.

My wife and I also flip houses, but never have more than 1 going on at a time.Maintenance issues need to be texted to me. 

I am with you on the discussion that profits and returns can't be discussed due to SEC and the SJW's are also molded by other motives.
