Post: Have a wholesaler with a deal looking for rehab/deal funding...

If they are just looking to wholesale the deal then they would need an end buyer. If they have the deal and you find the end  you can just split the wholesale profits or the spread.  In other words if the their assignment fee is 5000 you would split and both get 2500. If they are trying to flip I am not sure how it might work.

Hey Katy, the house was not built in 2008, Im not sure where that was said, she actually bought the house from her mother two years ago. Until I meet with her I am just going to say that her main reason for taking a discount on the home is the time issue and the  fact that she does not want to deal with an agent or pay closing costs. My comps are saying the house is worth 122,304 and the price per sq foot is $78 with 1600 square foot being the average square footage with in a 0.5 mile radius. I need to meet the husband and do a walk through before I go any further but I feel like I MIGHT have a deal. We shall see

I did and my mao was 87,000 which would still yield her a 15000 profit and I would get my fee as well

I have not spoken with the husband, she said on the phone that he pretty much threw it in her lap and said get it done, but I am well aware of how attitudes change when it comes to signing a contract so I made sure he would be present when I do a walk through of the home.  Its my first deal so I am just a little terrified that I am going to miss something or not have all my ducks in a row when it comes to going through or not going through with the deal. I am sure you guys can understand first timers fear!! I really appreciate all of the comments too , keep them coming!

That was another question that I had, how exactly do I verify her mortgage amount?? What information besides her bank do I need from her?? I have a contractor going with me to look at the property and do the walk through with me so I think I am good there. And also can I just do comps myself?? Texas is non-disclose state so tax records wont work but would a site like CRS data be ok?? will sale prices be on there in a non-disclose state?

I would tend to agree with you @Chaz Reid I have also yet to talk with the husband so I am going to get my comps and go and meet with them and hopefully get to the real problem that needs to be solved. Taking the payoff would be ideal but I am going to see exactly how low she really is willing to go. Thanks guys

Thanks for the responses so far, I have my real estate agent pulling comps for me and  I am going to see the property this week. I am hearing that her main reason for wanting to take less than top dollar is the time issue (she wants out like yesterday) and also she does not want to put any more money into the home in order to get top dollar for it. She did mention that they painted it recently (inside) and that the master bath has been redone. She actually mentioned that they just finished it a week ago. I know the market is strong in this area so I am hopeful. I just dont want to leave money on table. I am going to speak with her further because she may just be needing a down payment for her new property. @Alexander Merritt thanks for the advice on the two different ways to present to buyers, I did not think about that! Thanks again yall...I hope this turns into my first deal!!

 @RickHarmon Well they were mostly curious about who I was and what my business was. Also they were curious as to how I got their information i.e the fact that they were in probate and addresses etc. I am currently following up with all the letters I sent and also starting a new cycle. I know it takes time, I am just trying to make sure I am on the right path :)
