If you have, you have put yourself at great personal risk.Again, I recommend you get a lawyer as soon as possible.

All you had to do was drive to the house, take pictures, sign a contract and then assign the contract to a buyer for a fee.

You might want to explore DSCR loans, which allow you to qualify based on the property’s cash flow rather than personal income.

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

I have no personal experience with them but they are the only company I know of that are built more for self managers and small portfolios. 

I had another person speak highly of New Western.

That's the only way you will know if it's legal.In a true wholesale deal you are putting the property under contract, then either assigning your contract or double closing. 

I'd be going to as many in-person networking events as possible...here is a list of the BP events:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I have a separate list that is more encompassing that I can share as well!

I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.  

The purchase contract makes the buyer legally responsible for the loan.
