Here are some things to watch out for and avoid as you evaluate different companies: Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value) Don't allow for your own independent property inspectionAre not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors)Require you to pay for any renovation upfrontSell only in cheap. low end neighborhoodsDon't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classificationDon't have consistent rehab standards for all propertiesDon't provide a scope of work for the propertyCan't provide references of repeat investors

If someone is acting as a wholesaler and expecting to assign a property and gain a $60,000 return on the assignment, wouldn't that be completely unrealistic on a deal that would only yield about $34K after all expenses, including rebah? 

Location can make a big difference - that $250 target might be fantastic in a pricier area, but unrealistic in another market.
