Its really not that complicated for the buyer there is no voodoo to this process of acquiring a property.. 

Make sure you understand exactly what they want to see and when, all through the build process.

This way, you can get a feel for which system aligns best with your business process and workflow.Hope this helps, and best of luck with your wholesaling endeavors!

I have a list of about 20 properties from him, I just don't know how to start to the assessing process.  

Private and HML can move very quickly and loan on distressed properties.Also, for BRRRR investors, you should know for certain all the qualifications for your refinance.I have seen many borrowers with short term, private loans have to carry the loan months longer than they were expecting to because they did not know all the ins and outs of the DSCR refi process.

While I would like to add an ADU  I do not have the time for the permitting process.

Became a real estate agent after I fell in love with home ownership processes and out of love with my 9-5.

As far as whether to approach them with or without an agent - approaching them directly without an agent can save the seller probably 2.5-3% of fees, which give you some room to negotiate on the price, but you need to be confident that you are capable of evaluating the property value, estimating on the amount of work that is needed, knowing how to negotiate/ structure the deal, and navigating the closing process.

If your current deposit already equals one month's rent, you can't request additional funds.Keep the lines of communication open with your tenants, explain the process clearly, and you'll avoid any misunderstandings.Good luck!
