So it is not a fee.Oral agreement does carry some weight in Texas, so I regularly emphasis to people I come to contact that nothing is firm unless it is written and agreed to.  

Check all the smoke detectors on a regular basis.

I have saved quite a bit of money and won’t need to work a regular job for the next year at least.

We've spent a considerable amount of time on auction sites but find that route to be a bust.

Later i found out why the cats were there...the local feral cat society set up shop behind the shopping center creating a make shift habitat for these feral cats, and would even come by and feed them on a very regular basis. 

This is normally the route we go vs a full clean out and turn over as vacant units + rehab = very costly.We have 10 units we closed on about 25 days ago, we terminated 1, another is going to court, 1 left, and 1 is vacant.

@Nicholas-- that would be a great idea, I don't think you need 2 different emails, but if you mean newsletters / email groups, I would go that route.

IMHO no matter how good you are or experienced you are, you still want to leave a route to use to get out of a deal. 

Just make sure you can get your deposit back on the assignment if the title can not be cleared or it can not close because of something out of your control.Also, @Jay Hinrichs the wholesalers you dealt with was just dumb for trying to get a assignment fee so big from a buyer he does not know and deal with on the regular.

I've been researching some lending from either private or traditional but I can't decide what is a better route.
