I think you are in a good position, the owner has a problem where he doesn't want to deal with a property, your role is to be problem solver and make it a win-win situation.

Understand what you offer as a cash buyer and problem solver, and when it makes sense for them to list with a real estate agent vs sell to you directly, and3. 

There are certain markets don't have great wholesaling opportunities-The margins may not be there-There may not be enough cash buyers is buying in the area-it may be a war zone@Devon GarbusIt's my humble opinion not to specialize in Wholesaling when you get startedInstead you should be a problem solver looking to be able to help people solve problemsLow equity deals that are pretty houses in good neighborhoods with good schools are easier than wholesaling Minor rehabs offer a possible joint venture with the sellerFree and clear houses offer the potential of an installment sale, with a low monthly payment and no banks"Wholesaling only" is a terrible business plan in many areas

I pride myself as a problem solver and leader, and I hope that I can find other ambitious, smart, and professional people to network with.  

.- Be a problem solver, be the fixer.

This is definitely an eye opener on how to be creative and be a problem solver.  

There are 20 million houses Travis That have very little equity and these houses sometimes are on quiet streets and they need no work and they are paid up so they're not in trouble, not distressedYou make money by being a problem solver for the seller and making 3 per cent as an assignment fee.What a lot of people don't realize is sellers need help but they don't understand the costs to sell with an agentCosts to sell include commissions, closing costs, sellers concessions, spruce up costs like paint and landscaping, and vacant house while the house is being sold through the agentI describe this in a long post in the starting out section of the forms, so look for that long posters a few hours involved thereBottom line here is the spring is going be really tough for real estate agents in general, and if they would focus on helping sellers selling on terms verses for cash they would make a lot more moneyAn agents would make a lot more moneyAnd buyers would get their dream home in their chosen neighborhood in their perfect school district today, not making some landlord in some crappy apartment or rental house :)

You are the problem solver.

Being a good wholesaler means being a great problem solver and a great marketer.

I'm an engineer by trade, and Project Manager by career, and a problem solver by design.
