This obviously raises a huge red flag.

Dear BP family,For the first time in my life I'm buying a property from a wholesaler, and he is insisting on using his title company.I wanted to know the opinion of BP community, is that something normal for wholesalers to do or is it a red flag and I should be suspicious ?

If the I am not satisfied with what I see or if the provider's walkthrough/pictures looks deceptively better than the contractor/assessor, then those are some pretty big red flags.

I will not hesitate to start walking away with the condos that is red flagged for potential trouble.

Overpaying relatives for goods and/or services can really pop some red flags.

The downside is a lot more red tape, and potentially higher monthly payments.

Those credit inquiries not only hurt your credit score they make you look desperate to potential lenders which is a red flag with banks.   

Say everything goes right for 3 years ,  ( 150 rent x 12 months = 1800 x 3 years = 5400 )5400 won't even cover your agent fees when you go to sell this, no to mention closing costs, repairs, tax increases  ... you'll be in the red!!!!! 

You'll be better prepared for the coming correction and better served long term.Or you can take the fast and broke approach (aka, the guru's path, "no money needed, get rich overnight, just hand me your money to teach you") that will force you to be bold and creative, with the associated risks.

Those were red flags to me and I went a different route.
