@Patrick Flanagan The pain and struggle from being discouraged is a familiar one for many beginning investors but the key to success is consistency.

If the wholesaler has a valid, signed purchase agreement they could record a memorandum of interest (or whatever the equivalent is in OK) and block the seller from selling to anyone until the wholesaler discharges their memo.If the wholesaler is well connected and has a good reputation you may get a poor reputation if you try to circumvent their agreement, especially on your first deal.

These things are a pain.  

I knew the north side of Chicago and the suburbs on a block by block intimacy!

There are other soft factors like the pain of having construction going on for 3 weeks and of course, losing a part of the living room to the bathroom

It is very hard from my perspective to get rid of tenants who pay on time and who take good care of the inside of the property.Now on the other hand, if they don't pay on time and are otherwise a pain about different issues then I completely agree with not renewing their lease and just moving on.

Not a tax service like HR Block.

I manage a couple of units a couple of blocks from there.

It’s it shady to make the fees low enough so it doesn’t cause much pain and I earn slightly more?

Hi Kyle- Your LLP is not going to be your best choice- look into the personal liability of an LLP (Partnership) VS LLC (corporation).I started my first company as an S-Corp (C-corp that elects to be taxed as an S) and it's a pain in the butt compared to an LLC.
