Tracy Z and Fred Rewey have excellent training focused on buying seller-financed paper. 

I'm just going to put it out there that most of what you hear about wholesaling being illegal, and that it's not a good strategy because of X, Y, and Z, you should just go ahead and ignore that. 

I usually structure my contracts for clients like this:- 10% deposit (or $1000 whichever lower) - due at date of acceptance - 10% at first day of work for demolition and framing materials- X% due at completion of 2 bathrooms rough- Y% due at completion of kitchen rough frame, electrical, & plumbing- Z% due at completion of flooring, - ..... so on and so forth.- balance due at completion of punch list.

Although, that is my future goal, to become real estate licensed.I am a go-getter and I am looking for mentors in the Houston, Texas area that could show me the ropes from A-Z.

Toni, Z-estimate sometimes a way off. so I just use it as reference. in my area the valuation is strange, I only use the regular sale as the comparable.

What would others pay for a X bed Y bath rental for Z days?

@Priscilla Z. arranges the meet-ups. 

There are so many moving parts that goes on between points A to Z that would make most people quit.

Telling Joe to write a check to X, and Jane to write a check to Z gets very confusing very quickly.
