Given wholesaling is not a form of investing in real estate...perhaps licensee's and true investors should start thinking about a push to do away with related discussions...
I'm not sure why I'm even responding to this insulting post but since you've hit a nerve, I'm going to try. Wholesales and wholesalers are an intricate part for many investors. Considering we move 30-50 properties a month to our investors may show that wholesalers play an important role for many investors. We work to provide quality investments and take over all the hard work and time it takes to acquire properties for our investors that don't have the time, desire or knowledge to accomplish. Sure, there are bad seeds out there in the wholesale world, but there are bad seeds in every aspect of business. I find BP to be an incredible resource for me as an investor and a wholesaler. For you to want to begin a petition to rid posts and forums about a particular side of investing seems selfish and a little "one sided". I can only assume you've had a bad experience, but to burn the industry as a whole really doesn't provide much credibility on your part.
Many if not most have no idea of what they are doing, asking questions such as "What do I do now (self confession)" and only mark up prices with their margins. Then when there "contracts" fail, the end seller and buyer have no recourse.
I'll not use derogatory terms, buy boy is that ever tempting.
