my friend doesn't have any money either, its just that he is willing to take the risk & the big reward on the rehabing side of the dealme i don't want to take the risk on the rehab side of it (especially on this property), i just want to get the property under contract to flip it to him for say 5-to-10 thousandnow the property i believe is'nt owned by a bank, its owned by some corporation which i'm having a hard time finding info on them and how they come to own this particular property, and why their willing to sell this property this cheap and etc (actually after some more digging i think the company is a lawyers office or something, because that is whats coming up as the owners of this property, so i don't know if it really is a bank behind this deal but their using this law firm to dispose of it for them or what)now i couldn't find the name of this corporation, but the address i got off the tax assessors record, i researched it and the building is nothing but a bunch of law firms and etcits just that all the stuff i've read on wholesaling nothing really stated anything about having to come up with that much money just to get a contract on a property and etc. i know what earnest money is but most of the stories i here is people using between 10-100 dollars or so just to tie a property up..............now is mine higher because of the real estate agents lack of trust or something
