By that time, another wholesaler, who contracts sight-unseen, will secure it, leaving me out of the deal.

Why not put it into an investment that is secured by income-producing real estate, partially guaranteed and that will deliver a high level of monthly cash flow (12% starting cash-on-cash return) and deliver a 50% return in two years?

For example thru WIC or food stamps or unions or welfare or unemployment or social security or healthcare etc.

The higher the value of assets that you can put up as security on the loan, the the lower your credit score can be to qualify for a loan.There is no magic loan dollar value when banks stop caring about the credit of the individuals or corporations they are lending to.

They need security for the job as well.

My advice would be to speak with an attorney and discuss if you can form a partnership with your relative and create a legal situation to achieve your goals.If that is not the case, or if there is not enough time, then Jon's suggestion of a "Deed in Lieu" might be your best option.You made the mistake of jumping into a deal without securing your back end financing.
