Many investors assume that you (unknowingly) tied it up for market value since it was exposed to the retail market.

Money can be tied up for 3+ years depending on statutes.That being said, a fair bit of research can lead to some sound investments.

So many tie up so much equity renting their houses for nothing..

In fact, McDonald's changed their Ketchup supplier recently because the ketchup company hired a new CEO that has ties to their competitors.So while I wish everyone well, I get angry when I give info to someone and rather than thanking me, they compete with me.

If you had not had a ready buyer, I would have said don't get involved, ensure it's a done deal before tying up an owner in foreclosure. :)

There are a ton of people who function in that market....they tie it up for a $1,000 in earnest money and sell it off to someone else for a simultaneous close.

Next get into property specifics as far as what are they tying to get for the house, is there an existing mortgage on the property.

The house is in good condition and could be rented out right away.My question is can and how do I tie up the property with a wrap around in mind, then go market?

There is no exception to just one or three or five, any origination is covered.Actually, this just dawned on me as we have had many wholesalers talk about rolling over financing agreements, those are usually canned due tie to the fact such contracts are unilateral and require the consent of the lender/seller.This is a bit different, you're facilitating financing between an owner and an end buyer/borrower, that is a brokerage function.

Needless to say, I cut ties with him and eventually told my business coach about him (who had something different to say about him AFTER THE FACT).So I try and close my first wholesale deal on my own here in my local area (I live in a very small town in SE Ohio that still considered part of Appalachia).
