State laws are not being applied uniformly to retail sellers of manufactured homes or personal property-only finance companies as compared to the application of the SAFE Act to traditional mortgage lenders.

Buy it for 2k (I'm pretty sure I can get free lot rent while I'm fixing it) put the money into it to fix it up, and retail it.

You will occasionally find a traditional wholesale deal come along but there are a massive amount of REO's here in FL to capitalize on.

If there are buyers in your market who want to save money (yes, it's true EVERYONE wants to save money), and sellers who are willing to let there homes go for less than market value then wholesaling can and WILL be done.Why would sellers let there homes go for below retail...

As mentioned in an earlier post, he knows that I have tenant buyers (I have qualified buyers now)/retail buyers too...we can do the property management and my wife can do the staging, if needed.

Wholesale goods are sold at less than retail price.

When calculating an ERC (estimated repair costs) for a given subject property should the wholesaler provide an ERC for both Retail Flip AND rental?

Retail buyers certainly do not want to live next to or near board up homes or trashed homes.

When you're trying to determine ARV when fix and flipping or wholesaling to fix and flippers, you're trying to estimate the price the property will eventually bring in a retail sale.

Don't forget that you can always sell retail first and "cut the price" if you need to send it to a rehab buyer.
