If you are looking to start out wholesaling and are able to actually get a deal under contract you will have no problem getting an investor to help you monetize that transaction.  

I'm happy it's inconvenient for the guy that wants it dropped in his lap.Serious investors will figure out what data is important, create databases that include the important fields, and either take a laptop to the data place (aka courthouse) or delegate the job to another to research and collect.And then the real fun begins when you create direct response marketing campaigns to reach and convert these leads to prospects and then monetize them by doing deals yourself and referring out the off-target for profit.

For a buy and hold investor you're looking at a (again, I'm guessing based upon limited information, and a hunch that the property taxes are in the $1200/yr range.) potential cash flow of just under $200/mo net.  

I'd say 'monetizing something where traditional methods aren't or can't.'

Some people are happy with $100/mo net cash flow, others are $200, some are $300+.

Some managers are used to short paybacks, and at 4-5 years, monetizing the roof top takes a little more effort to 'sell'. 

Are your clients monetizing properties?

There is almost no situation where a piece of real estate cannot be monetized to a higher and better use.

Then do plenty of marketing and when you find a deal, you'll depend on your relationships to help you monetize them.

The better way to sell would be to use a Monetized Installment Sale.
