@Patrick Philip,Well, banks are "flush with cash" these days, but no, they do not have unlimited funds.Also, when banks lend, they impose certain restrictions on the loans, the borrower, the collateral, the terms of the loan, etc. so the note can be sold in the secondary market or be insured by government-sponsored agencies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.Private lenders ("OPM") typically don't write loans to sell them, and typically are interested in the deal rather than the borrower's details.Using OPM down usually means putting some kind of partnership, joint venture, etc. together so the source of the down payment is less of an issue or a non-issue to  the lender(s).Dunno if that helps...

When wholesaling, it would be important to disclose to the seller that you are a real estate agent, but in this particular case you are not acting as an agent, but as a principal, operating solely in your own best interest, with no agency duty owed the seller.if the seller, their attorney, the real estate commission, etc. is able, after the fact, to make the case that in your wholesaling activity you were not a principal, but an intermediary, then you would be potentially subject to fine, license suspension or revocation, liability for seller's lost income, and possibly treble damages for deceptive trade practices.
