The successful wholesalers are the ones that are direct with the seller and have done an analysis on the deal to show it can be a successful investment (always double check with your own)totally agree, I would add the don't act sketchy and present their available homes in a consistent/professional manner to buyers. 

By highlighting properties in high-demand areas like San Ysidro that are ripe for SB-9 developments, you'll attract savvy buyers and investors who are eager for strong returns.

You could sell the AITD to a note buyer who will pay off the underlying at closing - BUT the buyer will need to purchase the wrap for at least the amount of the underlying.

But if it’s a sale, some buyers might be okay with a few unfinished details, especially if you disclose them upfront.

I had listed a 10-unit property in Cincinnati, OH, and found a buyer through an agent from a different office.

there's a tremendous demand for inventory - both primary residences and rentals - and so buyers are willing to accept lower yield than a lot of us think makes sense.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

I've personally utilized private notes on three transactions and participated in another handful of negotiations with sellers on behalf of buyers in the past five years.
