But not a bad alternative.

Have you considered land as an alternative to wholesaling houses? 

Alternatively you could do a smaller a cash out amount and a private agreement for installment payments to each party secured as a second lien post closing. 

When not 'full income' verification, which can even allow for high 55%+ DTI there are alternative income verification guidelines like bank statement, P&L, DSCR, Foreign National, Asset depletion, bridge and portfolio programs that allow expanded ways for borrowers to qualify. 

This opens you up to advance on your plan or pivot into an alternate path.  

The alternative is that we all pass on deals all the time that could have been.  

Are there alternative ways to do this that are more hands free for me but still effective? 

Perhaps emptying it so that it can attract an owner occupied buyer is a good alternative or hiring a PM company to off load some of the work there for you.

Might be able to get a contract with the buyer of the cherries and thow some cash at you upfront for signing a agreement to buy the crop but I don't know what the alternate bearing looks like on Cherries in Washington and the brokers may not be willing to pay upfront in that area... or a upfront lease payment from the renter... 

Probably because she is yet again being marketed as the alternative to D.T. and that's it, no reason FOR her just go for K.H. because she's not D.T..
