The market for MFH is limited to investors here almost exclusively (there are few "live in one, rent three" setups locally) and there's no real rhyme or reason that I can see as to why these places go on the market. 

Also check the type of sale, most sales do not have to accept the highest price unless they want to.

If so, this property will not be able to be sold until the lis pendens is cleared (unless the buyer accepts the liability).

Amy A.We do have a an exclusive forum for Pro members only.

There is a lot of good advise on this thread and none of it is mutually exclusive.  

Recently we had an auction on a property that was found on Craigslist, it was a commercial property listed by the owner for sale, she wanted $750,000, my son and associate negotiated an offer of $250,00 subject to an auction sale, seller accepted the deal. 

These are not mutually exclusive so I'd say keep your eyes open for both.As far as using cash to buy then refi out later, again it depends on your intentions with the property.

Ok, so I have a buyer for the land contract, now I'm a wholesaler and I am used to putting properties "under contact" which prevents the seller from accepting any other offers and makes them obligated to sell to me and to me only.

I would have to liquidate some assets but that would be acceptable to me as I would buy a 3-4 bedroom and rent out the extra rooms. 

If she accepts your offer will be pleasantly surprised.
