Last night, I just had a wholesale deal tank on me, where I was going to make about $7,000.That is why this is a numbers game.

I've been enjoying all the games this year.

How long have you been in the game?

They just want to sell NOW.If that is true (which I can agree) and your sellers are not educated or picky, then they will not even notice the contingency you put into the contract.

First, remember this business is a numbers game.

Thats how option traders learn the game.

They also have two nights a month where they play the Cash Flow Game - I have not done it but it looks fun.

I would not call buying RE in 1995 and selling in 2005, regarless of positive or negative cash flow, specualtion, as we know that we would profit on the appreciation.That sounds nice, but unfortunately is not true.

In my experience they have 1 manager who is a truly knowledgeable individual and he disseminates maybe 5% of his knowledge to the high school kids who work there because he hates his job and hates all the n00bs that work there.With that said, there are occasionally a few good people that work there, but they never stay long because they realize what I just said is all to true and can make more money helping their friends and family on an as needed basis.

Not necessarily true.
