For really thin equity organize a mortgage assignment between the seller and a new buyerNote that these deals are thinner and you need to exercise caution to minimize risks.

Well there are always 2 sides to every story.People will almost always slant their position.Most problems come from not doing upfront work.When you work with anybody in any capacity EXPECTATIONS from both sides have to be set upfront.Once you have the talk the broker will tell the buyer if they are being unrealistic or they do not want to take on that business.Once misconception out there is that brokers/agents are a dime a dozen.CRAPPY brokers/agents are a dime a dozen just like CRAPPY buyers/investors.Great brokers/agents are in high demand and sought after just like serious and realistic buyers/investors.You can't expect a serious broker/agent to SHOTGUN a bunch of low-ball offers expecting to take a ton of their time to hit PAY DIRT for you on a long shot.So all l am saying is for every nightmare broker/agent story I have 2 investor ones.As far as properties I always list the property or lock it up to assign.Some investors are trustworthy but many will stab you in the back and just want the deal.In GA if a buyer or seller try to go around me I can lien the property and stop the whole transaction from happening.This is commercial only not residential.I always test the sellers upfront before I list it.I always explain commission and how they can cancel at anytime but If I bring the buyer they owe a commission and I WILL lien the property.If they are an HONEST seller they sign the listing agreement.If they are out to screw someone they will balk at it.Digging out true intentions from both parties upfront keeps people from entering into bad relationships.

Hmmm, started out as a wholesale transaction.....Sean, guess you threw a curve ball in there and everyone thinks that's a wholesale deal.Just to clarify, you can use seller financing, lease/options, subject-2, contract for deeds or other techniques to buy (or sell) a property.

IMO OTH, if it looks like some kids used daddy's ball pien hammer to drive nails in to hold the decorations up, that might be a little too much.

This should be a good exercise for each to really have to determine where they'd actually put their money in this situation.

Ok then tell me what number will seal the deal so we can write this up and get the ball rolling.

What other ways are there to get my ball rolling?

I get my low ball offer accepted a lot.

There is no crystal ball answer.
