After the trend moving from A-class hype down to B-class availability, to reaching for C/D-class opportunities, I might suspect the next focus would be back into B-class with fundamentals mentioned much earlier in the thread until the market opens back up into a buyer's market, followed by the Class A grabs again.I really appreciate you digging around for this reply.

I am a realtor and wholesaler, and I get some buyers looking for owner financing, some sellers need/prefer getting cashed out and there are some lenders I work with who can provide the financing however they run out of funds sometimes.

Btw, the buyer is in no way at any criminal risk vis a vi the lender, he has no contract with the lender and therefore no obligation to the lender.

For me, over 90% work in tech and have $150-500k for an acquisition and...99% of the leads are buyers.

You are paying 1k to have him as a potential buyer.

There are numerous threads about sub to and many investors believe it is a high risk strategy (especially for seller) and believe buyers who use it “take advantage” of naive sellers.  

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

Loan would have to be assumable from the bank and the buyer would need to meet all the requirements previously met by the seller.  

Even to sell the house, the house would need a new roof so that the buyer doesn't have insurance issues.

We meet in person next week.It sounds like they are looking for a buyer who will pay off their existing mortgage and they will help out from a seller finance perspective on the rest of the $699k purchase price.If they put it on the MLS< what would it sell for?
