Appreciate any guidance.Best regards  My recommendation is ot search the forum posts here on SDIRA and lenders as there are very few lenders and you can google and look up here on BP the terms that they provide. 

@Katie Camargo Don't expect the acquisition lender to provide better terms.

It appears these investors merely provided unsecured loans to RAD who in turn purportedly made loans, although its unclear if that ever happened.

As far as benefit to the seller goes, @Matthew Paul I think you are probably right on the money and regardless of whether they would have preferred to stay in this house rather than move, it is likely providing them some excellent cash flow; and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a deal that serves both parties better than the current situation. 

I wonder if your local MLS provider has a list of MLS_only brokers in their system?

J Scott, one of the more respected authors/authorities on BP, provides scenarios in which wholesaling can be done legally and ethically.  

Verify and double verify with the applicant that the information they have provided is correct and that all income is verified and all adults will have a background check. 

If the electronic lock fails, you provide the tenant with the code so they can access the key.
