That's not fair to the agent(s) and other parties involved, and could end up giving me a less than stellar reputation as an investor.

But it depends on what kind of note it is, commercial RE, with or without inventory or business assets, residential, 1st, 2nds, performing, non-performing, slow pays, guarantors of any kind, cash loans or funded with equity based on a sale.Notes are more involved than RE, RE is only part of notes as the collateral.

I was thinking something like if I talk to him about the repairs required and then tell him Im willing to solve his problem by taking the property off his hands without getting the higher authorities involved.. yet?

I am currently involved in SFH for long term rentals.

I used one to sell a property last year, and so far, nobody involved went to jail, :)

If an HOA is involved it appears they don't quite have their act together as far as resolving past due fees.I believe they are a legitimate business but as many others in the business there is no urgency to get transactions closed.

My question is this; Can I get this property under contract and do an assignment to another retail buyer without having a realtor involved from the buyer end.

Ultimately, you need to convince the seller to sell to you, and if you're wholesaling, you need to convince the agent not to talk the seller out of selling to you (the seller has the final say, but most sellers will listen to their agent's recommendation).In the end, you'd have to have the seller agree to sell to you, and the agent would still be involved on the seller's side and collect their commission.

The best insight comes when the right questions are asked among those who are already actively involved in your market.

Will Section 8 allow that to happen since there's kids involved?
