If they have been doing showings for you (going to actual properties and touring for you), it would be somewhat rude to dump them for a different agent.For the last 3 houses that I bought, I have not used a buyer's agent. 

New Orleans is different from just about anywhere else, it looks like a city but it is actually more like one big neighborhood. 

I am still not 100% sure all the contracts that are needed to actually acquire the property and actually assigning it.

Remember a 1% appreciation in your property is actually multiple times more return for you depending on how much you put down.

Although a few of them may actually do a loan for a slam dunk killer deal, if they do, they’ll end with most of the potential profit too.

I have read some info on un-permitted units as a whole (as in a actual 3 unit with a whole 4th unit un-permitted or un-zoned). 

I would like to do as much research as I can and connect with folks to become more comfortable with actually doing that deal.

My concern is more about if Wholesale dealer will accept those property and actually pay me the cash?

, plus the opportunity cost of having your funds tied up in the meantime, especially if she decides to file BK.Also, if she's a friend (or even just someone in your social circle), be honest with yourself about how likely you'll be to actually foreclose on her.

@Lamont MarableYou actually hired a very competent "con man".
