@Melissa Gittens I watched the market on this house until it dropped into a range the offer would get accepted.  

So, if I wanted to sell for $100,000 but   later accepted $50,000, you're thinking you're lender would accept your negotiation skills as a 50% down payment?

Then determine what their acceptance criteria is.

If the deal could be reduced to a loan, if you could decide what an acceptable rate of return (rather than a share of potential profits) it would be easy.

The investors have been very difficult to work with from the very beginning with grinding us down on our prices to a very very slim profit margin (almost making the job not worth taking but we got so far in deep we accepted any way).We originally asked for a 50% deposit prior to work starting as we have never worked with this particular investor and then we would collect the remaining balance once work has been completed.They had two other bids but decided to go with us because of the quality of our work as showcased in the portfolio we presented to them.Well, they managed to get us down to 25% of deposit (initially they asked for 10%).

In real estate, the path of least resistance is not the correct path to take, it is very structured by laws, regulations and accepted practices.

There's nobody to tell us what trees to cut, what colors are acceptable to paint the home, when to mow our lawn, what kind of vehicles can be parked in the driveway, where to place our garden hose and trash can, etc.

Put the closing date as 10-30 days from the date of acceptance.

Social media - Technology and of course there's forums specifically dedicated to Wholesaling.

San Marcos is 30 minutes from San Antonio or Austin. 30 minutes is an acceptable commute, 1.5 hours is not.
