@Andrea TappIf you're simply asking how wholesalers speak to sellers, that's easy, they lie, just as the poster did above with his imaginary partner (who is not a partner), but then it's just a long list of deceptive practices, lying beginning with signing a sale contract as a buyer.Nothing personal Andrea, but really, what you're really asking is how do I get out of the mess I'm getting into?

One of the practical issues anyone involved in the marijuana industry faces is banking.

I have taken personal loans out at 11-13% from banks because it was more financially practical than the hard money route.

The court order also allows Wisconsin residents that are VPM tenants to terminate their leases with VPM without penalty, and seek financial damages against VPM that resulted from the company’s “prohibited acts and practices.

Of every month at the mission innI would recommend you use your "expertise" go to some of these bandit sign people and ask to work there dead deals....... you can find gold in a pile of cr$p.Call me anytime I love this topic.Jim

Networking is always a great practice and you never know who you might meet there and what good information they have to share.Hope that makes sense.

If it is underwritten as a commercial loan the DTI requirement may be higher and they may consider income generated at the property itself.My expertise tends towards commercial loans so keep asking around if you are seeking conventional financing.  

His approach was to establish a relationship, ask where they were currently invested, provide information on investing in RE, get face to face when practical, providing more information but not a deal.

My understanding is that they can be more hands-on at times and other times they practically run themselves.  

Along the way you'll also have seen a few other deals happen and you've read a bunch more on BP and other resources about best practices for your investment method.Take that good deal down and constantly be evaluating what you could have done and what you can do better.
