[Not official loan advice]...

Received a letter from them stating they will have it replaced if I don't fix by a specific date (yesterday).I sent my plumber there, he ran it and his official opinion is that the dishwasher is working fine, and the tenant should try a different soap.The tenant called again, is still not happy with the dishwasher.Ugh.My thought is to send an official letter stating that the unit was professionally inspected and the recommendation is to change soap, and also further visits will be billed to tenant at $XX.How do you handle these matters?

Request the "official" version, from their accountant, which is filed with their tax return.Other than that, a good property inspector should point you in the right direction as far as what areas could give you problems and what capital improvements you should make to avoid things breaking up later.

I've spoken with various city officials as well as fire department and all zoning is good for the use.We own a five unit apartment building right around the corner from this building and it has been a really great investment.

Im pretty sure no individual party will be able to secure a loan of this size.

From any investors whom have had experience with wholesaling high end homes please put your hand up and I would greatly appreciate your valuable time in giving me some friendly advice.My question is:  What type of earnest money deposit will 'me' the wholesaler have to put down to secure the deal with a motivated seller of a home which is over $500K and reaching to $3MM?
