I worked for Zillow Offers.

I ran across this company/tool here on BP last week and have been looking over what they offer. https://www.houseflippingspreadsheet.com/Yes.

Offer to pay for 1 month to store their items at a storage faculty and provide money for a moving truck to get their items to the storage facility. 

.- Service providers are offering more and more operating services. - Lenders are not balance sheet lenders.

However, in practice, the homes wholesalers take on have no other path to sale.

The higher the earnest money the stronger the offer.

If you press 1 you go to a "special offer" you have no choice to refuse, if you do you get disconnected. 

I had leased to one of the actors who created a service offering especially for movie industry folks and sub leased to the crews working in movie industry.
