He and I share several clients and have worked together on numerous occasions - flawless execution and great information each time, without fail.

How could they both conduct an inspection and fail to notice the gas is off, that sewage was leaking in the crawl space, or that the plumbing was so bad it needed to be replaced?

With the knowledge you have built and the support of your mom, you may have a learning curve, but you won't fail!!

When those items fail your cash-flow goes bye bye.

I'd say you're more likely to fail and become discouraged because of a mistake you made because of a lack of understanding of the process, lack of due diligence/analysis on a property you purchase than going through an eviction or someone not paying for a month.

When all else fails keep it on your radar and wait for the tax sales. 

First ask for reduction in price...if they say no....then contest the appraisal....this usually fails...then switch lenders and get a new appraisal.

Then why does something like 95% of all new businesses fail.

@Garrett ReedIf you can’t realistically close a deal yourself if you try and fail to wholesale that deal, you really shouldn’t be making the offer.

You can try and appeal, as there's no harm or extra cost if you fail to get the number you want.
