Currently fully leased at $530 per month (on high side of average for my area) and near a newly completed and desirable grade school which feeds into the "better" middle school.

If you plan on just hiring a top notch well rounded individual to do the work it will be a very large monthly expense for a newly formed business.

they pretty much size you up then go for as much as you can afford  LOL... these guys usually have back end offices doing this.. and lots of BS excuses like you just relayed... and they are very very good at what they do.wholesaling is a very advanced strategy it is not a get rich quick method by any imagining the only one getting rich is the coach.. 97% of all people that launch into wholesaling will be out of it in 6 month to 1 year and have lost 10 to 20k... its HIGHLY dependent on your local market that your going to work ( IE a LOT of low value inventory that the real estate brokerage community will not serve.. )  lots of rentals...
