Very few places in Philadelphia can you build 15’ wide homes and generate the out-sale price per square foot to justify  the cost of new construction, and doubt you’re coming across parcels in the correct neighborhoods at tax sales.I recently underwrote a parcel where I could have built (22) 18’-6” wide townhomes  and ultimately concluded (15) homes between 25’ and 28’ wide generated substantially more revenue against cost.

Usually I conclude the market value between a specific range of between $0-$20k (ex market value is $400k-$420k) depending on how many good comps there are.

If the “wholesaler” were to actually conclude the purchase and then sell to an end buyer, most of the “attacks” on wholesaling would be eliminated.   

Did you choose to enter this business because of an affinity for real estate, or because you performed an analysis which concluded that this particular business had a greater expected risk adjusted ROI than other type businesses?  

I underwrote a ton of iterations from smaller multi-family to 22 townhomes and ultimately concluded building 15 luxury townhomes between 25-28 ft wide provided the best revenue against cost of all the options available.

Several Wall Street investors sent money to Minkow in order to persuade him to pursue bigger targets.[26] Minkow claimed to have uncovered $1 billion worth of fraud through the FDI.[27]Shorting stockMinkow's motives were brought into question by multiple news stories, which concluded that Minkow was shorting stock before he released a report on a public company.

I've spent the past few month doing some research on Real Estate, and property investments, and have concluded that Wholesaling (at this point) is the easiest/ less risky way of raising finance before making an investment.My first question is: Is wholesaling an option in the UK or are the laws different from the US?

After the fire investigation concluded, it was determined the tenants had accidentally caused the fire due to negligent cigarette use. 

Little constraints to building and, like in Tulum, there's a whole industry building a huge amount of condos there (who often look all the same) to sell to (unsuspecting) investors, which translates into huge competition when renting and/or selling.To conclude, you do some due diligence on the market to find out if my fears are justify.
