I would like an notice, text/email/call, whenever they need approvals to move forward, and not for it to sit pending for days/weeks. 

I usually get 14 so my private lender has enough time to get the time and sit down with me so we can talk, and cut me a check. 

I was sitting at Starbucks finishing up a proposal for a really important prospect (online advertising audit for a Fortune 500 company).

Now the bank is sitting on these notes and has offered to sale them off in groups of 10 homes per package.

The reason is especially if new to the market they can thank you for the offer but SIT ON IT and wait to see if something else comes along better in the following weeks.Now if you offer close to asking and the numbers still work for you then once under contract  and the seller is committed to your offer then you can start to point out things and give reasons why the price needs to come down or you need a credit.That way in small increments moving to closing you can possibly get to where you need to be.

I would also ask if I could sit in on one of the closings in order to learn more about the entire wholesaling process. 

I was planning to take this money out and use it for a down payment but than my friend said that he has some money saved sitting in his savings account and not making any money for him.
