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. 

That level of diligence isn't possible with human effort or even traditional data processing techniques.I would like to expand to investors in the future but this technology is very new. got it also commerical Brokers I suspect would be a target for you..
