Needing some advice on a potential deal that was presented to me by a wholesaler I recently met through my local REIA.

After you described what you wanted to do, did they present you with individual properties to look at or give you a list to sift through?

This question may be more specific to my market of Washington DC but maybe you can still help.I recently attended a REIA where a rehabber presented his latest flip and the entire process.

My suggestion would be to have at least 1, if not more, estimates ready to present to the potential buyers.

As a Realtor I have certain minimum services I need to perform on behalf of my client and one of those is presenting all offers in a timely manner.

Then present it to them.

I have spent countless hours researching deals and arriving at single digit numbers that satisfy most of my investment criteria.

My plan is to speak with a CPA (which I will do shortly thanks to another BP member here for providing me a contact) to speak about this strategy but I wanted to present this to the community first.

The owner knows we're wholesalers and we plan on presenting the house to our investors.

That being the case, they have a DUTY to that seller to present the property in the best possible light to get the best possible price as quickly as possible.
