@Jay Hinrichs exactly the risk is even more than traditional development and the profit is actually less with more operational headaches.

This is not a great return, but not terrible.As others noted, there are other risks, like having the property insured at full replacement or purchase price, or if the option is 100% seller financing with no money down or very little, versus 20% traditional down payment, this can start to move it into a better investment.

What do you mean by "traditional 6-month financing route"?

Maybe they are offering financing because no traditional lender will lend on the building. 

Private Money Loan: Private lenders might be a flexible option, especially if traditional routes don’t work.

Focus on Investor RelationshipsMany wholesalers work exclusively with investors, bypassing the need to act as traditional agents.

Dan, Investment HELOCS are extremely hard to achieve considering they are not DSCR underwrites. they are more traditional conventional qualifications.

Reverse exchanges tend to be much more expensive than traditional 1031 exchange. 

It seems a traditional sale gobbles up half of it in closing costs.We refinanced early last year, and another refi would cost ~$5k, plus w/ the LTV, I don't think the numbers work out just right.Too bad we were too naive to even consider those offers when they were handed to us.

I used Roofstock to sell one of my rental properties in TX as their sales commission is lower than going through traditional sales channels.
