Oil is not water.

Some excellent lakes for fishing, great hunting (although the dear are about the size of well-fed German Shepards) and some fabulous golf.

Your doing the right thing by researching your next step "Forks" will be like fishing soon but there are so many other investments you can make as well(time and/or money).

I agree with the principle, "Fish when fish are biting".

I wouldn't wait too long before I either fish or cut bait though.

Teach a man to fish as they say...

In much the same way, a car owner doesn't show up at the gas station waving a chart of crude oil and yelling 'gas should be cheaper!!!'.

It's similar to asking, "I'm going fishing, which lake should I go to?"

Here's what the wholesaler is laying out:No seller or wholesaler disclosure on the property … it's an as-is saleOne open house will be held at which the property can be viewedBuyers have 24 hours after the end of the open house to make an offer comprising simply the offer amount along with proof of fundsWholesaler selects the winning bid that night and send the buyer an assignment contract.Buyer wires a deposit (over $10k, and not called earnest money but called a deposit) to wholesaler's attorney the next morningWholesaler sends the contract between seller & wholesaler to the buyer and/or buyer's attorney1 calendar day for attorney's review (in NJ real estate contracts are not binding until both party's attorneys agree on the contract)Deposit is only refundable if title is not clearApprox 3 weeks to closeThere's no underground oil tank contingency (in NJ it's common to have the seller remove an underground storage tank).Are these steps & conditions & timing typical for a wholesale deal in NJ?

I think they have a well-oiled machine, but they are dealing with alot of volume which can contribute to misses like this.
