The seller has recently received a medical diagnosis, has lost their job, and moved out of the property. The seller's main objective now is to find a way to get out of the property without foreclosing.

I'm not a wholesaler and have never done a wholesale deal. However, this lead came to me through a friend that knows about my interest in REI.

My objective here is not really to see what's in it for me, simply to try to analyze this (as a real world example) and find out if there's anyway the seller can work with an investor/wholesaler to reach a deal that'd be better than foreclosing.

What do you guys think?
