You could have canceled or negotiated an extension, because you didn't have the information needed in time to make a decision.As a seller if the inspection period was short I may not bother to keep the deposit.

So why bother even doing Wholesaling when you could just write it in as your commission?

I have been studying for about a year now and working on building contacts in the UK like sourcing agents, mortgage brokers, banks, and other players needed for a Power Team. 

Most networking events with the big players happen in the daytime here and doing something as simple as delivering materials can offset a day or 2 of contractor work because I'm at the office#3 I love my tech job, but I'm not used to being comfortable for so long, its unnerving#4 I could try to change jobs to something that is more interesting, and could improve my negotiation/facilitation skills, but it would likely still not be my passion as much as real estate and training others...Plus it has more overtime potential (moving from programmer to business systems analyst would be my next career thought)#5 Realistically, I could only probably start out with 2 small deals with these funds and still have breathing room, and it would obviously be a gamble.

If you are not going to pick up your phone EVERY time it rings no matter what day or time then do not even bother. 

Or is generally considered to low of an amount for an investor to bother with?

I wouldnt even bother keeping them unless they are willing to pay.
