Anyway like I said just feeling frustrated that real estate has to go on the back burner.  

Wholesaling isn't an easy biz to get into there are a lot of variables that could go wrong and for the most part, having great back up plans, buyers in waiting, and other deals in the pipeline will make your job a lot easier. 

That way I am getting some money flowing and they all know they have a place to go when school starts back up again.

Then, as you pay bills, it creeps back up to 10k. 

Hello,I live in New York State and back in 2012-13 I had gone through the foreclosure process but was able to pay back up and currently reside at the same residence.

Maybe the current owners got some kind of relief, I would call the town tax assessor to make sure it will not go right back up to that after it is purchased. 

@Nick CiarnielloYou can always put in a backup offer in case the first contract falls through.

I currently work in Sales in the enterprise software industry, and will be moving back up to San Francisco (from Encinitas) in August '17, where my company is HQ'd (currently working from home).  

One was sloping (fixed)), the other were sewer line backups from 60 year old pipes leading out to the main line where tree roots had basically destroyed the pipe.

Even planting the seed of doubt in their mind, "If for whatever reason you can't get your number (most won't) or if it doesn't sell in the time frame that you're looking for (most don't), then we're a great back up plan."
