I'm fortunate to have sufficient reserves to should i get an immediate loss (sell google stock :-) - Liability: I'm trying to get some ideas on how to protect for liability.  

Ash -I recommend asking/chatting with established wholesaler in your market, real estate investment clubs are a great way to meet people, title companies, and RE lawyers and subject matter expertsKeep in mind that wholesaling is still not clear for a lot of people, including people in the industry - don't get discouraged if a title company you called tells you "we dont do this", or "this is illegal" - just move on to the next companygood luck
