I did not think of   Duping a seller with a  fake family.I know in our hot market here we get all sorts of family letters and pictures of family and the dog etc.. with offers to buy our homes... tug at the heart strings of a seller when you know they will get multiple offers. 

My heart will forever bleed Crimson.

Your attorney should have a little heart to heart with them

A wholesaler needs a binding contract with a seller so you can't go around them... and of course if you do go around them they are not going to bring you anymore deals.. so its common sense and logic in that regard.. however if the wholesaler appears to be a novice and and can only close if you close then you can set them up if you wish.go into contract with the wholesaler you will then get to find out who the owner is when you get the title work.. wait until the close date do not close wholesaler probably is out of contract ... contact seller either prior or just after and go direct...wholesalers if they are going to protect their position need to have the funds to close so buyers don't go around them if they don't they will get burned over time.I know when I flipped some subdivisions in my day. and these were larger type transactions 500k plus.. we had our cash ready.. as the builder who was buying them would go around us in a heart beat.  

Renting mobile homes is a very difficult business, not for the faint of heart.  

We have been in a multi-year half-hearted search for a SFH in Colorado (we are out of state) where "the numbers work" for renting a place for 9 mos during the school year (Sep-May approx.), and living there ourselves for part of the remaining 3 months.Our only 'goal' is to be near break-even on the cash flow (assuming a 15 year note for 75-80% of the purchase price). 

It's advice I've taken to heart. 

Well, 10 of those babies will truly break your heart!

warning, not for the faint of heart or those who ate, are eating, or going to eat anytime son!

Speak from the heart.
