Trust me when I say I understand the value and appeal of the wholesaler but I can't wrap my head around it completely.Wholesaling seems like a TON of work and a lot of heartache.

The 50%+ cash on cash is really appealing in that regard too, as it is making maximum use of the available funds.Dan Dietz

I would also think that anything that was appealed and found to be not guilty on the appeal would come off as well.I was recently told that only 2-3 counties have automatic submission of the court documents to the case search database.

If those numbers don't appeal to you then there is no reason to search for a good deal, just go buy off the shelf.

Big possible liabilities to analyze are the shape of the roof (presumably flat) and of any chillers/heat pumps and HVAC units you have.Windows are another one to assess, for both aesthetics and replacement cost.

The reason I think the owners might be interested are that they would like to get out of the day to day of it due to age, and they find the possible tax benefits of carrying part of the loans appealing instead of getting all the cash at once.

Since they are sticking you with seller dream terms of 20% down , LC contract, and higher interest rate I do not find it appealing at all.

Also if it is over assessed there is often an appeals process.

Brick can be laid up thousands of ways and thicknesses depending on the aesthetics or structural demands of the home/building.

The solution would have to appeal to that diverse group.
