Good to know and I appreciate the clarification, simply haven't seen anyone use it! 

Simply, its purchase price v sale price. 

While I have not done a deal with them, their agreement requires a close timing that simply will not work with conventional lenders (usually 7 days or so).  

Let’s break it down and explore how you might approach this idea, the challenges you could face, and ways to structure a deal that could work for both you and the landlord.Why the Landlord Might Be Open to SellingThey’ve moved out of state for health reasons and don’t have family nearby anymore, which might reduce their emotional attachment to the property.The idea of simplifying their life and pursuing something like sailing around the world suggests they could be open to letting go of the property if it helps them achieve their goals.With significant equity or potentially owning the property outright, selling could provide them with a substantial cash windfall to fund their future plans.However, their belongings on the property could signal hesitation to let go or simply a logistical barrier they haven’t addressed yet.

Remember, for any claim, if you can just find one case where that proposed claim does not work it is enough to prove that claim is false.So consider this.They it was told toy uo by others is inherently flawed simply by this fact:If I give you a list of 18 year old people that don't own a house... and that list is 2000 contacts large, how many deals are you going to make?

On the other hand, I’m hesitant to simply pay down more of a property, as we don’t need the immediate cash flow.Fortunately, both my wife’s job and mine are recession-proof, which allows us to be a bit more aggressive with our investments.I’d really appreciate advice from investors who have experience with frequent moves or military service.

With that being said, if there are any agents or investors located in Western NY willing to let me learn from them, or simply learn more about them, I am willing to work something out and/or possibly work for free.

So maybe this simply won't work. 

The way wholesalers get around this is by claiming to simply be marketing the contract and not the property itself (hard to do legally), or by doing a double close (buying the property then reselling it immediately).

As an agent who has successfully helped over 25 house hack buyers in the last in 4 years, and have sold over 500 properties in my career, what you are looking for, in the price range listed simply doesn't exist.
