Out of state motivated seller

[Charles Kuchlenz]

I have recently come across a property which looked vacant and decided to do some digging. I searched the county tax records to find that the owner of the property has been current in paying the taxes for the past 5 years, but lives in TX (I am in WI). I sent a letter explaining that I would be interested in purchasing the home and have received a response from the owner's daughter stating that her parents are looking to sell. I would like to wholesale this property if we can negotiate a proper price.
Are there some things that I should be considering when negotiating an out of state deal? How would you structure the closing?
