Investors talking to homeowners...!!!

Hello BPers,

So after struggling for months trying to get a motivated seller under contract, I did just that...

Went on craigslist and started marketing the property and local investors went and told the owner that the house was for sale. Now the owner doesn't want anyone coming in.

What do I do?

@Andreina Marquez

 Did you market it with address? I have, but don't openly market any Wholesale properties for this reason..... You need to build a network of serious buyers that you can go to with properties. Do you have abilty to close on this property yourself? If so and the deal is strong enough - show the owner proof of funds or maybe a strong deposit and move forward - or explain that you are going to assign it for a small profit. If these methods are not accepted by seller, move on and chalk it up to a learning experience and steer clear of those investors that sold you out.
