One of the most important is knowing when to stand firm and not let a buyer dictate the terms of your deal—especially when you know you have a good one on your hands.

I wholesale to people with lenders that pay the wholesale fee all the time...if it's a DSCR loan then the fee goes on their side...if it's a traditional lender then my fee goes onto the seller side and I still get paid...

You may not be able to address issues in a timely manner when they come up.

By this time, I became so hungry for learning real estate investing.
