So....my buyer texted me this morning with a link to a Craigslist ad of a wholesale I have in contract.

I have had a few interesting conversations with 2-3 people in my circle of influence that want to participate in REI, specifically my recent success, but they are both gun-shy in committing to any specific "complex" real estate deal, and have sub-$5,000 amounts they are wanting to commit.Without getting too much into the minutia of their mindsets and arguments, it is important to note that they are willing to give a much smaller amount of money for advertising and, in return, are expecting a faster, albeit, higher risk return through wholesale deals obtained during that time frame.My actual question for you is: have you ever structured any kind of private funding "deal" that officially goes towards your marketing in exchange for a piece of the net profits for (insert time period)?

Do I have to go to auctions and wholesale?

My LLC recently purchased a property through a wholesaler.

It was bought by a wholesaler for 3500 earlier this year and at this point just wanted to get rid of it.

Regularly Bank REO properties and Wholesalers require their title company.

I would suggest you talk to them, let them know you decided to wholesale the contract, AND offer them a fee for the work they did to prepare the proof of funds letter. 

(HQ scotts voice)Is it possible to do a Wholesale Double close, using the end buyers cash (from Escrow) to do both transactions (the A-B & B-C)?

I recently was told that the buyer should pay for it and not the wholesaler because the buyer will most likely do it anyway even if you had it done.

Its a combination of flips, rental pickups, and wholesales.
