@Bill Gulley  @Richard C...I wasn't a broker back then and the seller did not want to list the property.  Considering that I didn't have a buyer's list to go to and no money to buy the property, is there any other way or ideas of how I could have wholesaled that property to avoid the seller's objection to marketing the property to buyers??

Welcome to Chicago @Samson Kay.  Like @Ravi P. said, I like your thinking. I wish I could give you some insight but I'm quite new to the game myself.

@Steve Vaughan...hmmm...never thought about it that way. Thank you.

@Richard C....This was a past deal. I wasn't a broker back then. I wish I had know about BP back then. 

Wow...@Debbie Lee...I hope things are better for you now

@Steve Vaughan He didn't know that I didn't have buyers lined up as I never mentioned that to him. He just looked at the contract and in the contract it noted that I would be marketing to buyers and they would need access to the property for inspection.  He wanted me to buy it and then after that I could do what I want to with it.  He didn't want me to back out the deal if I don't find a buyer for the property. He also didn't want a lockbox on the property.

Welcome Raymond and thank you for your service. I'm new to REI and BP as well but there is wealth of knowledge in blogs, posts, books, podcasts and forums. Take some time and go through them.

I had a deal that I wanted to wholesale. The one bone of contention was that the seller did not want me marketing the property for others to buy. He only wanted me to buy as he was afraid that if I didn't find buyers that I would not go through with the deal and he wanted to get rid of the property. At that time I didn't know about BP, did not have any money of my own to buy and had no buyer's list to go to.  How would you overcome that type of objection when you are dealing with a wholesale situation??
