. :-)Great post @J ScottYou probably did not have a point in mind to make but what stands out to me from your post is1) There is a big difference between a marginal opportunity that isn't "bad" and what is truly a DEAL.2) If a wholesaler has a TRUE great deal there are proven buyers like yourself that will buy them all day long.

This will give you a true understanding of why you are hiring a PM.

If all this is true this still looks like a good deal.Be careful and good luck.Bill

Was less true in years past, but its so politically incorrect to foreclose these days they'll probably give you a little time if you ask nicely, and your reason is legit.Best,Sean O'TooleFounder/CEO PropertyRadar.com (formerly ForeclosureRadar.com)

We have had "defenders" of such claims on BP in the past, that investors are not required to follow generally accepted accounting principles, true, in their accounting system, but they are when it gets to public investing or applying for financing, so the only reason to have a double standard would be to puff or inflate claims.

If the story is too good to be true, send them on their way.One thing we now do is hold the deposit, more than once management companies disappeared on us with deposits.

This is especially true of folks who have owned one through the economic down-turn we had from about 2007 - 2012.Time-shares are very often NOT an investment, but if you like to travel and travel at least 1-2X or more each year, you can save big $$ over simply renting someone's vacation property, or staying in a nicer hotel.

All directionally true, but consider magnitude.

Not too high and definitely not too low such that they would be losing money.Please read more about what true "cash flow" means.

Don't mean to be harsh, but there are issues through out it, rent credits, optionee doing maintenance, sale covenants in insurance, it's an option, there is no issue with you not taking the deal, however, it's conditioned on performance, that violates true options and automatic rent extended and option can violate any due on sale.
