Syndicator put the deal together end-to-end (finds deal, negotiates, closes, sets up LLC, works with lawyers/banks/accountants/management companies, etc)I have a good relationship with the sponsor and am simply looking for an opinion as this doesn't seem to fit your traditional syndicated deal structure.Thanks!!

My question is:What are the benefits/drawbacks of selling to the HRA vs selling it via traditional routes?

They have cash, you can assign your contract to them, and they can complete the deal within your 30 day closing you set-up with the seller.You can work with people who will use traditional financing and be owner occupants, that is called wholetailing.

If the seller of a pre-foreclosure has enough equity to do a traditional sale, then the bank doesn't have to approve the sale and the contract could be assigned.

When inspection items or other reductions come into play my fee is OFF THE TABLE for negotiation.

You will want a termite inspection since wood wasn't treated in that era and if you suspect say termite or beam damage have someone look at those items. 

I have already been pre-approved for a traditional 30yr fixed @ 4.2%.

Tile is also more traditional in those parts of the country than wood. 

Stocks and bonds, medical equipment, food and grocery, pretty much any retail item, cars, clothes, real estate... they all have their middlemen.Investing in real estate, especially wholesaling, has become wildly popular within the last 5 years.

Lots of marked down items stored in a large warehouse.
