Always trade offs, especially depending on how long that buyer is looking to keep the property, or refinance.

You can also do a double close if the agent or the seller is against wholesaling.Double close is a process where you first close as a buyer and turn around and close as a seller, typically within 24 hours.I am in metro detroit too.

A moderate 80s update in Houston may not match Indy, so leaning on someone who knows the local buyer pool can save a lot of back and forth.All the best,Johnny

Seller financing joins me at the hip to the buyer.

For owner occupied homes, the typical buyer is NOT analytical.

One of the investors brought the buyer to the table (my personal opinion was that the buyer did not have financing but I went along with it because that is what the investors wanted). 

Just last month, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s been a growing interest in these more under-the-radar markets.. places like Casper that might not scream top-of-the-charts popularity, but quietly attract buyers who appreciate untapped potential.

I love the idea of fix & flip right now @Abigail King, especially right now here in Chicago and I am sure it is similar for you in central Illinois -- it's winter so there are way less buyers and if you can get under contract soon you can likely rehab over the winter months and hit the spring market!   

Not saying there isnt any but when they do appear, they go fast and cash buyers prevail.
