Invested in basic index funds and paid down my mortgage faster than required (11 years off the mortgage by year 6).

I have $50K in debt with a payment of about $1220 in a consolidation loan that will be payed off in 3 years.

Could you offer to have a pod dropped off where the tenant can store their belongings while still having access to them? 

They don't typically sell one-offs.  

Unless you want to run your wholesale operation like someone associated with Sopranos, in real world you will have little to no remedy to secure your interest if the seller and buyer decide to cut you off.

That being said, pretty much every investor that reaches out to us seems to be under the impression that they would be our only investor client and that we are sitting on tons of pocket-listings (off market listings) that we are just praying for someone like them to take off our hands at insane discounts.

I still believe he’s better off with someone licensed in that seat to avoid any potential fair housing or other liability issues that can occur.

They will likely put a lien on the property for the costs of demolishing the house and hauling off the debris. 

Is it off market or on? 

I would believe the comps you found and possibly take 5% off those as interest rates rise.
