Let's talk Earnest Money
When dealing with wholesalers or off market properties, is it of the norm for them to require $5k EMD? If so, why? I am just very curious. Being new to REI and still looking for my first FLIP opportunity, I would like to numbers to make much sense, including contingencies, before I put down that much money upfront.
