So I have sellers calling me... now what?

[Matt Hegedus]

Hi BP,

I'm a new wholesaler and I'm brainstorming ways I can help homeowners who need to get rid of their properties. 

Obviously, the options available to us depend on the situation, but I'd like to get your input because I don't know what I don't know. My goal is to make money while helping the seller fix their problem.  And I want to put together a list:

How to help motivated sellers.

The obvious wholesale answer is: Make a low offer, tie it up, and then market that property to other investor buyers. 

But what ELSE could I do to help, short of buying the property myself as a rental?

I'd love to hear how you guys are making money when a motivated seller calls.

Thanks
