I know that feeling:

🔥 You found a lead.

📊 You’re crunching numbers.

📝 You’re ready to fire off that LOI.

But hold up—let me save you from a six-figure headache.

Just because it’s under contract doesn’t mean it’s a deal. Too many new wholesalers sprint toward the finish line... only to realize they’re holding a ticking time bomb.

Before you go all-in, double-check these 3 non-negotiables:

✅ Prime Location - Don’t bet on “up and coming.” Bet on already booming. Look for growth, jobs, infrastructure, and momentum.

✅ Motivated Seller - If the seller’s not motivated, the deal won’t move. Period. Your time is too valuable to chase maybes.

✅ Positive Day-One Cash Flow - Projections won’t pay your bills. Cash flow covers risk and keeps you in the game—even if everything else goes sideways.

🚫 If even ONE of these is shaky? Pause. Reassess. Dig deeper. Be willing to walk away.

You’re not here to collect paper. You’re here to build freedom—with deals that actually work.
