Heck no. My wholesaling has yet to get off the ground. I thought I had a couple with great potential but it just hasn't worked out. One problem is the percentages that these lenders are looking for. One local HML said that he won't lend on a deal over 55% ARV. That includes purchase and rehab costs.

The phone has been ringing off the hook (by my standards) and I'm sure the deals will show themselves eventually.

Same here. Cash deals are hard to find. Working on 2 lease option deals right now. Everything seems to be going okay so far. Their are a lot of people who have some money to put down that are trying to down size and can't get approved the traditional way down here in BIrmingham,AL. I am trying to capitalize on that we have strong rental market .Hopefully they will pay off. May be some nice cash flow in them

EDC; or equity developement corp. will lend to 70%LTV (hard money).
You need a 720 credit score. However, its what you do with the house after the rehab thats concerning.
It has been very difficult to find a buyer for mine. I'm using the MLS, private sources, loan officers as buyers agents; I am getting some tire kickers.

It is tough to work with realtors if you are going to float a contract or wait till you have a buyer to close. If you can go ahead and close then they are fine.
