These contracts are facilitated through what is called "double deposit escrow", as opposed to a traditional escrow company. 

Inbox me the details when you have a chance and we can chat further.I do both flips and buy and hold in the area, as well as help facilitate one of the local investor meetups.

Definitely interested in knowing which attorneys in Savannah, GA can facilitate wholesale transactions.

The seller had a legitimate reason for wanting to close that fast.... she was adopting a child and needed the money quickly to facilitate that.

Usually Cap Rate gets me into the ball park and facilitates the decision to make an offer or not and at what price.

The tenant ("new business owner") and I both agree that it makes sense for him to buy the space from me, and have agreed on the basics of the deal.So ... my question is ... do I have to get a broker to facilitate this deal, or can I do it myself? 

A successful short-sale typically benefits the borrower (homeowner) in the following ways: it can give them more time in the house (and payment-free); it is better than a foreclosure from a credit report perspective and wold allow him to obtain a new purchase loan for a new home in the future more quickly as compared to having it go through foreclosure.I would encourage you both to reach out to a local realtor with short-sale experience and have them facilitate the transaction, it would not cost you or the owner the commission as it would be paid out of the bank's proceeds.No, in a short-sale I would definitely not offer any payments to him directly that are not known and approved by the bank, you can get yourself in hot water and probably legal trouble by doing that on a short sale.

I had a meeting with the trouble tenant with a facilitator going through parking limitation and he said he was ok with it.

The attorney there can draw up a simple purchase contract and facilitate the purchase and closing.

I hoped someone would have a recommendation for a good 1031 facilitator to use in the Atlanta area.
