That being said I have nothing against Agents and I think this rivalry is ridiculous, Wholesalers and Agents both provide solutions to homeowners, it's not a "One shoe fits all" kind of industry.We see ourselves as service providers and depending on the seller situation we will either Wholesale, Flip, Hold as rental, or do a "retail listing", and I believe this is where this industry is heading, you don't want to be a "one-trick pony". 

Imagine you see a banditsign that said "I am Nike, all shoes are 60%off", with a phone number at the bottom. 

I would either close on it myself and pay off the debt to resell or I’ll find another investor who would step in my shoes at the closing table with you.

It's gotta be something, your religion, skin color, shoe size, eye-brow thickness, something, anything just NEVER your actions and decisions, nope, no-way no-how, never ever ever. 

There’s so much to unfold and it’s definitely overwhelming but I thought I would ask those who have been in my shoes before.

But the thing is, they have your property and they will rage on it and you will have a bad property when they leave.Also, put yourself in their shoes, if they were renting from apartment, it won't take that long, why should they tolerate when it is from you?

If I were in your shoes, I would look at a market like Cleveland and purchase MFH with 25% down, and you can purchase them with a DSCR loan where either current rent or potential rent be used to qualify.

I'd actually pay for an appraisal if I were in your shoes.

That's how knowing your product or service works in sales.If you're selling sports shoes, you should be a walking encyclopedia about them.

On there advising things they themselves never did, well that the shoe shiner giving stock tips, right, just stay away from all that obviously.
