Javier, do you network at these events? 

Depends on the kind of leverage. Do you have a deal you are looking at? Want to share how you are evaluating your deals?

@Chris Schuler, I understand, but what you can do with the SDIRA is amazing. PM me if you want to talk further. 

@Chris Schuler why not convert your Roth to an SDIRA and invest that way?

Exactly what @Edward B. says. When your ARV's are $30K or more over and repair estimates are $15K or more under estimated you are going to lose my interest quickly. I am going to do my own due diligence, but I am paying you an assignment fee for your marketing and evaluation time. If your deals are only deals because you inflate the value, YOUR value to me is nothing.

Make the deals a win-win is my advice. 

I understand building a buyers list. I do the same thing as I market to probate and will someday get more deals than I can handle. I guess my motivation to sell is not to make a quick buck, but to service the customers in my probate deals if I cannot personally help them. 

This is more of a rant than an informational post. Why are good wholesalers so hard to find? My experience thus far with wholesalers has been less than pleasant. I started off with some smaller names, but found out quickly that ARV's are WAY inflated and rehab estimates are under estimated. So I decided to try and go with a couple from one of the bigger nationwide firms and got taken on a two month roller coaster ride, only to be told that the wholesaler decided to keep it for himself.

I am beginning to see why wholesaling has such a black eye. 

Where are you looking to buy, Stephan?

Thanks, @John Leavelle for validating what I was saying. @Creighton Bertrand, its tough to hear a deal you like isn't as good as you think it is. Remember, like I said, you need to find reasons not to do deals rather than search for reasons to do deals. If you are trying to talk yourself into something, then its not going to work.
