I'm rooting for you!

This is important because their response will cue you to which direction to focus your further queries on.If they wanna stay, you focus on probing for what the root cause of the problem is.

I assume there may be push back from sellers if we also disclose that it could be listed with us instead.

I recall the couple mentioned above, same stuff, get rich schemes in various ploys.I agree, money is the root of their evilness, the greed is apparent but consider that it's not them that creates the market, it's also about the greed and laziness or lack of awareness of those they cater too.

So basically in my situation probably not worth pushing for. 

Usually it's the buyer that has a right to cancel subject to an inspection, and that can be whatever buyer & seller agree to, as a buyer you want to push it out as much as possible.

After spending that time talking about how it happened and how to spot it, it’s time to go into detail about how I and others were able to take advantage of it.As a quick recap on how gentrification happened in west Oakland, the tech industry grew like crazy in San Francisco, pushed out artists into Oakland.

They just haven't pushed to increase the rents or make updates.

A bunch of people sitting around talking about real estate and not buying (because wholesaling means you are selling to someone else) does not create the artificial demand necessary to push prices way past where they should be and create a bubble.

My wife and I have picked that location because we plan on "putting down roots" there in the next several years.
