Does this clause in a special warranty deed imply the sale price?
I received a list of properties from a wholesaler, including addresses and asking prices. For a certain property on their list, the asking price is $115,000. I wanted to know if I could find the price that the wholesaler paid for the property, so I could find out how much negotiating room they have on the asking price. The last recorded transaction was non-arm's length, and there is no sale price recorded, so I'm trying to get creative.
I used the address to look up the transaction history on PropStream, and I found the transaction that mentions the wholesaler's LLC as the buyer. They bought it from Fannie Mae, and the property's transaction history includes a document number for the special warranty deed issued for this transaction.

My question is: what are the odds that this $38,400 corresponds to the price that the wholesaler paid?
