But alas, it's an absolute auction that requires 15% of sale price within 24 hours, so I'll have to pass, as i don't close on my home for 2 more weeks.

If they are from a neighboring area, they may not bevacationers, but evicted renters or felons that cannot pass a background checkfor a long term rental.Use facebook, google & county arrest records to vet on your own.Last minute bookings are also a warning.

For the next 21 months I attended the most difficult language school in the world. 70% failure rate and you have to pass a test on a made up language that you cant study for just to get in.

It works well because the guy painting a house down the street may pass a distressed property on his way to a job which he would gladly tell me about :).

Still no contact from missing tenants. 7 days pass as I am in and out as my regular job permits to mitigate the damage done.

I pass a house all the time that is a vacant house (starting to fall apart, unkept, notice on window from county, mail piling up, ect.) that would make for an excellent flip in a desirable area.

Could it be they think they can't pass a test?

Because, I can't afford to get a license;Because I'm not smart enough to pass a test;Because I'm too lazy to study and just want to take the easy way out;Because I don't want to operate under the ethical constraints as a Realtor.None of those answers reflect a great deal of professionalism upon the dealer.I "wholesaled" a property last year and considered doing another to assist a friend of a friend but turned it over to a Realtor as that was the best method for the circumstance.

If everything is legit, she shouldn't have an issue with it.You need to find out what her objection is to using escrow, if it has to do with closing costs, write your contract to say you will pay all closing costs which you will pass on to your buyer.Quick way to end your wholesaling career before it starts would be to pass a major issue on to your buyer.Keep us posted on how it goes!

Pass a little more info, and I will answer better!
