For the above question, advising a client against his wishes but in his best interests is something you should absolutely do.

I absolutely see the risks involved, I mean even just holding money seems risky to me, thinking inflation.

Learn to think in percentages, not absolutes.

Absolutely!

So they instantly know your asking price is absolutely ridiculous. 

So i've seen about every situation i think : )It is very fun and very emotionally rewarding for me and a LOT of work for the client-- Take Heart--- each buy and lease-up gets easier, absolutely!!!

If you have the email address I would absolutely leverage it!

I am ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to not be in the percentage of people who never pull the trigger on real estate investing.  

At least, in my world, when wholesaling, I'm mostly meeting  homeowners on a Saturday or Sunday at a house they own but do not live in and taking them away from their day off so my goal is to get in and out as fast as possible while building trust, asking questions, taking photos of every room, from every angle, as well as outside, and trying to make notes on my repair checklist in under an hour (2 at the absolute most), So, what I'm looking for is a ball park estimate to multiply square footage by in 2 categories - Exterior and Interior. 

I agree that it is a skinny deal if the house absolutely requires rehab before occupancy but they way he made it sound is that the house is very much habitable, just outdated.
