If I’m trying to wholesale a property that is represented by a listing agent and they ask for proof of funds what do I do?

I was a licensed real estate agent (REALTOR) with Keller Williams and EXP Realty and did very well in NC, but not licensed at this moment in SC (I represented myself on my own deal as well - which took 5 months of haggling for a land developer deal).

They're just hoping an unrepresented buyer walks in and either wants to buy that house or see other houses and represent them on buying one of them.   

@Stryker BrownAsk him for a Rent Roll and P&L.Ask him do these represent normal operations going forward?

In my experience the best thing to do is contact the underwriter the agent is purportedly representing, they will be able to confirm or deny the agent's standing and make sure you are dealing with the actual agent. 

I represented primarily lenders so I’d see the financials on the deal when drawing up the financing documents.

I found:  Nick Beedveld from Jaqua Realtors; he represents the listing at 1443 Alamo Ave Kalamazoo, MI - on the market for $40K, looks like it is a bank owned property. 

If you're looking for actual investors doing 1031s they're likely to be pretty savvy and represented.  

He was also a legal aid lawyer at an earlier time representing tenants, specializing in coming up with excuses to drag out evictions.

I represented my self on this deal.
