He lowered the price a few times till someone else put it under contract. 

@Alberto RamirezDepending on the wholesaling deal, once you assign the contract the wholesaler is usually not responsible to pay for anything.

I was upfront on my current skill level and abilities and was offered a temp to hire position with the company with a 90 day upfront contract period.

It seems like it should give me an edge of I'm smart with it, but realistically should I take risks with my first property or maybe hold off and do it on my second property?

The card doesn't offer points or rebates but occasionally they do offer 0% interest for up to 24 months at the local home improvement store which will come in handy on my next house which I just got under contract.

It is my understanding of contract law that payment denotes agreement.

We are currently negotiating on three properties and will hopefully have a couple under contract soon.Also, I have to add...when I left their office to drive back to the airport, my rental car had a flat tire and without even hesitating, both Joel and Scott jumped in and changed my tire in record time (photo attached).

Just shadowing somebody in the whole deal/contract process.

I was interested in finding a real estate friendly attorney who have experience in Assigning contracts!

So, I think preparing yourself to look north of Dallas or in HEB as mentioned is smart.
