You have to find their problem.There are a lot of high-net-worth people looking for opportunities to enter the hospitality space but lack the operational know-how you’ve clearly demonstrated.

As someone who lends and also borrows private money, I know how important trust and transparency are in these deals.

Let me know how things are going!

These borrowers typically have full databases of lender contacts whom they have existing relationships with, so they know who to contact and how to contact them.

That's the only way you will know if it's legal.In a true wholesale deal you are putting the property under contract, then either assigning your contract or double closing. 

If you need recommendations for estate planning attorneys or CPAs in San Diego, let me know.

Furthermore if they are always paying they probably will stiff you in the end if they know they aren't going to get the deposit back. 

So, when they initially communicate I cut and paste a reply letting them know when the next open house is.

I have used avail.co in the past with great success but it appears this software and others no longer market on zillow which I know to provide a lot of leads in the past. 

Most also work off of call lists that are incredibly outdated, so anything you do today likely won't have an impact for a while....I received a call from an idiot on Tuesday wanting to know if I would sell a piece of land.
