But if you don't even know where or how to find cash buyers, why are you asking about wholesaling in general? 

I'm biased and can provide reasons and data to show that using an agent will protect you, get you more money, less stress and so on.The reality is you can do it yourself, but tenants generally don't cooperate with showings and that causes lots of problems for buyer to access the unit to show, inspections, appraisals etc.

Meaning the at the end of the lease, the tenant has the option to buy (but not the obligation) whereas the seller has the obligation to sell if the the buyer chooses to buy (works just like selling stock options!)

He was previously my teacher in high school, so I've had a relationship with him and I've signed a buyer's agreement with him.

Let the wholesaler spend the money finding the motivated buyer then swoop in and cut them out..

Maybe they’re charging over market or could find a buyer. 

The process is broken from the buyers’ perspective. the redemption's in our experience has always been that way.
