I think the first thing a wholesaler should do is come to a firm, deep understanding that your promises and your integrity are the two most valuable things you will ever have in this business, and to commit now to never do anything to compromise either one, even if it ends up being very expensive for you to fulfill your word.Why state such an obvious thing?  

You should put the private lender on first deed and have them insured (note) so that they are completely safe and can foreclose if you don't fulfill your end of the bargain.  

Usually they'll come in at a high enough occupancy to fulfill a Fannie/Freddie if you go that route, not much room for rent growth in the immediate future for A/B+.
