Wholesale Higher Priced Property?

[Bryan H.]

BP Community! 

What is your opinion on wholesaling a property that is above the median home price not fitting the 1%-2% model with rent? 

Through marketing, I found a property in Denver Metro (Centennial, CO) that would retail at $470k based on comps with a seller suggesting $400k purchase before negotiations. I can probably get him down to $380(ish), but it has tenants on a lease until 4/2015. The deal is there with room, but it comes with the tenants which don't meet the 1% rule with their rent being $2,500 a month. He said buy it now, get $25k over next 10 months, then sell it. 

I can get this under contract, but not sure the end-buyer pool for a property like this. Regardless, it is a deal but not a great scenario.

Regards,

Bryan
