I've heard a  lot of horror stories about other turn key companies from our clients and there are always recurring themes but in general, the ones to avoid are the ones that: Don't allow financing or a finance contingency (it can be a good indication they are selling above market value) Don't allow for your own independent property inspection Are not realistic with their pro forma's (i.e. they don't include vacancy or maintenance projections or use unrealistically low vacancy factors) Require you to pay for any renovation upfront Sell only in cheap. low end neighborhoods Don't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classification Don't have consistent rehab standards for all properties Don't provide a scope of work for the property Can't provide references of repeat investors Require you to close before a tenant is in place

A good wholesaler, with a big buyer list, is going to get a cash offer for the seller that will likely be more attractive than a finance play for you.

There is a finance company that I have been in communications with for several weeks that seem legitimate, but I am wanting to do my research and confirm that they are real. 

Or you had to make a final offer cause they didn’t accept it right away?

I think in the same way about something being "perfect" before jumping in (to avoid risk), but yeah, there is analysis paralysis, so there is a fine line between doing enough due diligence and actually acting on it.

Do I need to send them a second letter letting them know what I plan to deduct before sending a final letter with a check of the remaining deposit?

They actually can really help your business.Best wishes bud, and on a final note outsource the cleaning as soon as you can, it can be a real pain.

So as soon as an offer was accepted, I would book a flight to go walk through the house myself and make a final go/no-go decision. 

There's also a Finance topic available under Education that might be helpful.REIAs are Real Estate Investor Associations.
