the POA (power of attorney) is so that the 'seller' doesn't have to show up to the closing to sign the papers, the 3rd party now has authorization to sign the closing docs for the 'seller'

typically I use a bird dog to be the 3rd party POA


is there still a contract between the wholesaler and the buyer in this transaction.

If you are trying to wholesale REO or through a Realtor/MLS, you will most likely need the pof.

If you need one, contact a HML and they will most likely write up a generic one for you.


whats a hml.

what sources can you use for proof of funds if you dont have the cash readily available to purchase a property you intend to assign? do hard money lenders offer a service just for this?
