But that’s exactly how it would be if you would have done it all on your own.The challenge is buying the distressed property at a reasonable price.

Wholesaling is definitely possible in the Bay Area although from what I can tell it is more challenging than in other markets.

My challenge is that I have a relationship with a Realtor who knows the area and specializes in new home sales. 

Most investors are primarily concerned with the person, then the deal.The challenge is that you are working under a challenging restraint.

Being in the unique position I’m in with family being flexible on the deal I didn’t know if there was a way to make it work.

It's funny that you're talking about "removing the buyer and purchase it myself"; it's often more the other way around where buyers want to remove the wholesaler from the transaction and buy directly (to save on assignment fees).As a wholesaler, you have a unique opportunity to negotiate seller financing. 

I have a few years of carpentry experience, but I think I would like the challenge!

The parents tend to only own them for 2-4 years, then sell when their kids graduate.The big challenge is most of them are bought in cash, so unless you come in at full ask or above, you probably won’t get one. 

Being unique will help you too. 

Good Morning,I have a unique situation on my hands.
