I find that the potential sellers are either too paranoid to find (they hide from everyone fearing their creditors) or emotionally divorced from the property....they have already made up their mind to default and there is no way to impress upon them that that's a horribly bad decision.Some of what I experience is unique to Texas and Texas rules however.

The one thing that I've found is that most markets are unique in the expectations the students have.

Typically you have to show dire difficulty or unique circumstances which warrant the change.

The numbers showed them the unique opportunity available and the low risk they had (when word spread about the potential sale, my grandparents received 7 cash offers).

My best piece of advice to you; find a way to establish a unique form of marketing to your seller versus trying to compete with other wholesalers in this area.

So each exchange will have it's own unique calendar and reinvestment requirements.  

I’m looking for creative financing options for a unique property.

I also think that value add is a margin of safety play that is unique to real estate that works in any market condition.

I'm still working to understand how I can best leverage my unique situation to find success in REI, but I know that once I do have that clarity, I'm going to be hyper-focused in putting that plan into action!

So it's a very unique situation that caused me to be okay with negative cash flow.
