It's been really shocking how horrible this has gone so far.  

When you're single and it's easy to withstand financial shocks, it's easier to take risk.You're right, the answer is "it depends."

However, after filling out the preliminary paperwork I watched all the fees add up. 

When people showed up for the funeral I was shocked.

@Joel Owens  what you do and the clients you deal with are very much apples and Oranges to the average BP investor reader.First off you know as a commercial broker proforma's are all blue sky.. were as preformas from turnkey companies the buyers are shocked that they may not be completely accurate   LOLNot sure how many wholesalers that have 2k in the bank end up controlling a 5 to 10 million dollar deal your doing   again apples and Oranges

Then you pay the bird dog (who does investigative preliminaries on your behalf) outside of closing (POC on the HUD-1, if it's even there) after negotiating with the listing firm/agent directly.

Hi All,I'm in preliminary talks to pick up a 6 unit with 15% carry back option with another 5% down from another investor, leaving me with 5% skin in the game.

BP,I'm a aspiring wholesaler trying to game plan for a marketing campaign I am going to launch at the beginning of the year.I asked this question in the wholesaling forum and shockingly I didn't get a response.  

That is shocking to me that a landlord would do that.

I was in Minneapolis last year and couldn't believe how cheap housing is, prepare for a shock when you enter San Diego!
