Hi All, I am in the process or re-organizing my part-time real estate operation into a full time business.  

If I did go out of town, I would expect to pay the full 20% down and start renting out right off the bat, which is why I think an FHA near Seattle is really my only option if I want to enter the market in the next year or 2.

Normally these wholesale deals are done personally seller to buyer without agents involved.This would be a bird dog finders fee situation if you can pull it off.You are not gonna get a full 3% or more commission from a wholesaler.Have you alerted your investor to the property and gone to see it yet?

Unfortunately doing this on the side of an already demanding full time job makes it more difficult to participate in something like wholesaling. 

We are transitioning from our full time residential fix and flip operation to apartment fix and flips/buy and holds.

Hello @Gina Jackson - I too made excuses for a full decade before I made up my mind to proceed with REI, and things have been great and moved quickly since then.

Since this house will be pain in full, with HELOC what the best way to pay Heloc/should we refinance it later?
