Some of that has been changes approved by myself but a lot of it is stuff he didn’t estimate properly when we signed our contract.

You'll want to drive all the streets of a neighborhood looking  for homes that have signs of vacancy (tall grass in the summer, or non-plowed driveways in winter), or are just in poor condition.Then look up the owner information via public records and try to make contact one way or another.

Also Called a few escrow companies to see if they ever did any transactions with wholesalers and the ones I got a hold of had no clue of what I was talking about.

He sold the business to someone else and I've heard they use actors as their speakers and it's a hard up-sell to attend one of their bigger, more expensive seminars where there is a hard up-sell to sign up for private coaching.All the courses I've looked into are "gurus" trying to up-sell.

Since I have ordered some professional folders, signes, pens and coffee mugs with my logo from vistaprint people have stopped asking me if I own the property.You don't go to the house of your banker and leave a note on the porch that you really should get that loan.

I have read the very helpful BP posts from @MikeHartzog @DionDePaoli and @DaveVanHorn and others to get familiar with the process, but now that I'm executing a transaction I find that I need clarity/guidance about a couple of the next steps .

I know his emoplyer and he has a good steady job.What is the best way to structure this transaction.

He also said there are no signs it is recent and he estimates it was finished settling soon after construction. 

This may work if you have  another housing crunch and people who bought and were clueless as to what they were signing. 

Hey guys, IF i sign with a realtor but then I come across an opportunity to buy a cash deal, how does that work with the realtor?
