Use your days off as deal analyzing days and you will soon see which wholesaler is getting good deals and which ones are just selling dreams.

I wish you luck with your wholesaling dreams and that's awesome that you found someone to mentor you!

You can always try for the emotional attachment and write a letter to attach with offer, telling them how it's your dream blah blah.

I’d never dream of committing mortgage fraud, and reducing housing costs seems like as good a reason as any to downsize. 

Honestly, when they told me they could not do it, I visualized my REI dreams going down the drain and so I freaked out a bit.  

Deciding to take a new career leap that I have been dreaming of for almost a decade.

I want to know if our dream is far from reality with our heads in the clouds or if this is something that we could actually do. 

Commercial real estate investing is new to me and until recently this dream seemed alot further away than it is now. 

Look forward to talking with you and seeing your dreams come to reality. 

I have a passing knowledge of it.In Oregon which is a big farming state.... it seems to go in waves of what is hot and what is not.Timber of course is the ultimate in farming  Tree farming for passive.Grapes are hot as the Napa Sonoma prime vintners have moved north and are snagging up all the little botiques in the area and money is being made simply because mature vineyards are not 500k to 750k an ACRE like they are in the Napa Valley yet a nice bottle of pinot will still sell for close to a nice bottle of median range napa cab.Blueberries were hot we were involved in a planting of 60 acres of them.. and when i went to raise the capital the only real capital for this is farm credit.. they pretty much laughed us out of the room.conversation went like this.Him:  what do you do Me:  I loan money and build houses and have done a lot of timberHim:  do you have a degree in agMe:   no barely made it through highschoolHim:  so no expeirnce farming  was your daddy a farmerMe:   No daddy was a land developer and RE broker so no familial experianceHim: we ONLY loan to those that are 2nd to 3rd generation farmers  with advanced degrees in AG.Me:  well we own the land  HIM:  we dont care you will fail most of the timeSo I told my partner at the time you can buy me out and you can run with your blueberry dream.. the lender talked me out of it we are not experinced at it..
