Real estate is a get rich slow scheme. 

The reason I personally want to become a real estate investor is not because of the big get rich quick hype.

It communicates that you are not afraid to walk away from the deal.   

I would urge you to not see her as the villain, but this whole thing as a situation arising out of a lack of communication.

For credit check applications, I just don't see how an applicant can dispute they submitted an application for credit check when we have dozens of email communications with them concerning their applications.

With good communication and an understanding of basic business, there's no reason one business person can't reach out to another in a normal, human fashion.

Did he communicate correctly to the person responsible for setting up the listing and did that person understand what was to be done?

Maybe your competitors are doing a better job at communicating what makes them different and better.You said you’re working with partners – have them do a mental exercise where they put themselves in the position of a prospective tenant and another exercise as a current tenant.

But fast forward 10 years later and some investors in OR approach me on the exact same deal they gave the middle man 1 million in up front money and thought they were going to get rich.. they lost the million the wholesaler took it never to be seen again..

When the get rich in Real Estate Guru's talk about people having large number of SFR units in a portfolio, I don't think they really anticipate many if any of the followers to actually do it, that's mostly hype for the sales pitch, If they did it would mean they didn't truly understand the next level in RE investing.I would rethink your plan and conduct some analysis on obtaining Institutional grade Multi-family properties.
