Especially if those people aren't cranking out wholesale deals themselves month in and month out.

I'm a licensed GC here and can be somewhat hands on down there.

Perplexed that a service provider to whom I'm willing to hand over my business decides to drag their feet. 

I'd take whatever money they are willing to give you (accepting partial payments in ME is fine) and then hand them a 30 day notice.

Simple, was for school, didn't work out so paid it back.

I bring the deal (wholesale or foreclosure), pay 100% for property, material that goes into rehab, His portion is only labor.I basically hand over the keys to him and get it back when we list.I pay for selling and closing costs both on buying (if needed).I will be a remote investor

Future plans: There was always a thought in the back of my mind that I wanted to get into real estate after the military, and have recently started reading any book I can get my hands on.

I am looking to work with an agent who has extensive experience (including first-hand) with this property type.

I would just "assume" possession of both, rehab and rent...simple as that...dont even seek real ownership...just take them over and start profiting.
