So unfortunately my first blog is a negative one.  As I was dealing with a local investor he tried to shaft me......can you guys believe it!   Here's the story:

I was at his office getting another wholesale deal under contract and he had a house that he just could not move (short sale).  He asks me if I'm interested in taking a look at it.......Of course I was....I asked him what the referral fee was, he said nothing, he just wants to move it.......I was reluctant, but I took the keys anyway and went to check it out.  The property was great!  I immediately got on the phone with a couple of people I know that buy with cash to set-up a few showing.  As I was showing the property questions arose about the property that I couldn't answer.  I had to call the initial guy to get answers.  To shorten this story, after he realized that there was a possibility that I could get it moved he comes back to me (three days later) and says he wants $2000.00 referral fee.  Needless to say I was quite upset.  He didn't care about  helping the home owner.  He just wanted his referral fee. 

My lesson.....not everyone plays fair and not everyone is concerned about the homeowner .

Go figure
