If you attract an experienced investor, they probably don't need your help, but the offer will set you apart.

But in most cases that cash in hand and one loan, one payment based off of a 30 year fixed rate seems more attractive. 

Albany hasn't seen the population decrease that other upstate cities have, but it's not attracting people, either.

There are many other facets to it.I got into it because it was a passion of mine to do so and I finally found a way to pull the trigger.Flexability, freedom, no limit to how much you can make, no boss telling you what to do, active+passive options, and so much more is what attracts me and lots of others to this.In fact, if you like at many financial studies, the largest portion of the rich got there through RE investments, more so than inheritance, stocks, hard work, high paying jobs, etc.

If they require it to be listed, doesn't mean it has to be placed on MLS unless they require which therefore provides you with "non-mls" listed property and more attractive if you plan on flipping it. :)

In the rare case the numbers look remotely attractive for a rental it does take a different approach to sell.Rehabbers (okay, good ones) can walk a house and in 30 minutes tell you yes or no.

What other criteria does a wholesale deal have to meet to be attractive to a buy and hold investor?

I'm having a problem what do I write in the ad on craiglist to attract cash buyers if u don't have any properties.

I am a registered architect in Massachusetts and has experience in high-end residential and office construction in NYC, and currently doing freelance design build retail projects in Stamford, CT.I want to be a real estate developer/ investor, and without knowing about this great site, I went to NYU to study real estate development and finance (master's).

For some reason, its just a job that attracts the dodos.
