The program looks at location, property value, amount owing, interest rate, taxes, insurance, rents, condition, etc and several exit strategies.When we make an offer to buy, we can offer cash, subject to, wrap, seller financing, lease option, seller carryback and so on.Obviously if we wholesale the property, there is no carrying management needed, and if use a lease option to sell, the optionee is responsible for maintenance and repairs.
