Help with 1st wholesale deal.

On my first wholesale deal my initial offer for the property was 35 thousand. The sellers counter offered with 38 thousand. The initial asking price was 40k. The sellers said they would like to get the deal closed this week. What should I do next? I'm confused as to how to get the property off my hands. How can I close a deal within a week? My first deal and I need some assistance.

Malcolm,

I don't have enough info to determine if you have a deal.  However, my best guess is that you probably don't.  Seller asking $40K, you offering $35K, seller countering at $38K.  What is the house worth?  Touch base with me and I'll walk you through it...........Roland
