Wholesale - Ever been burned?

[Ryan Keeslar]

I have recently entered into a purchase agreement on a wholesale deal. I just did a quick search and realized the seller is not listed on the property assessors site. Has anyone been burned in a wholesale deal? Please note I am using a title company to close the deal but this is cash so there is no bank backing me if it turns into a fraud situation. this is my first time dealing with a wholesaler
