Creative options to help someone who owes too much

[Lutcien Sebert]

I connected with a seller the other day and can’t get helping him out of his house on my mind.. he is a retired firefighter and a great guy but is in a hole where we need to be around 85 and he owes 106. I’m a wholesaler with no backing to invest so I’m looking for the best way to simply navigate the solution. Help if possible.

Sorry to answer a question with a question(s), but this needs a little more information. What are you basing your offer of $85k on? I'd start there. What are the comps for a similar home in the area? Is he underwater with the mortgage or does he just need more than you currently have a buyer for?
