I guess what I was getting at was whether there would ever be a case when someone would still buy these seconds, as asked by the OP.

I was thinking that the OP was referring to the earnest money deposit that wholesalers typically require from their buyers, although I may have misunderstood his question.But for what it’s worth, Jerome, you will always want to get a deposit from your buyer for the opportunity to take over your position in your contract with the seller.

You can have a valid contract (at least in Florida) without an EMD.But at this point, OP needs to move on and find another buyer. 

ALL the best  The OP indicated the lot is too small to support the required leach field for 4 units.  

I swear I looked at/for OP’s (your) state but must have seen a responder’s state instead.

I am 100% confident that OP means well.

Its what is best for the OP and their experience level   HMM, All my rentals are about 20% net caps  ( cash purchase) for 10 years or so in the Cleveland markets on top of the triple in pricing, I am putting in a tenant tomorrow on my 3/2 for 1400 a month, my all-in price is 60k, taxes 2k, value about 125k.

Feel free to DM me, I know how lengthy the sales process can be for these types of co-ops without these obstacles from selling an HDFC unit so that the seller could purchase a larger unit in the same building which I was also selling.

Your OP's summarizing of posts from 5 years ago was accurate then, and remains accurate today.

In the same boat as OP so this threat has been very helpful!
