I am hesitant to promise a bonus for finishing early because I think that it would encourage short cuts.

The real estate business can offer you the ability to be a contributor to society and enhance individual lives.Without having sat through the conversation you had with your father-in-law, it is impossible to fully understand what was said, intended, or implied.Your father-in-law may have been correct when suggesting you may go bankrupt or put your family in a challenging financial situation.

It would appear money was the reward and not the reason for what they did and the contributions they made to society.

There are too many parties and too many factors for this to be a simple situation.However - I highly encourage you to rethink your financial arrangement with your parents.

@Dawn Anastasi and @Joshua Dorkin thanks for the encouragement.

In the CL post, she includes a description of the unit and encourages visitors to bring the required documentation with them to the open house to expedite their application (pay stubs, copy of license, etc.)

I must say that this site has really encouraged me to begin investing in real estate and has provided guidance in building my wholesaling business and I am really looking forward to meeting great people and sharing my experience with everyone on BP!

I am also a licensed RE agent and a member of my local board so I have MLS access.I have grown terribly risk averse though and may need some encouragement.

I am happy to see that decency and honesty are encouraged on this site!

I'm working on my second wholesale deal (with more to follow) and encourage you to dig into the Wholesale Forum threads for some amazing information.
