I hired a large accounting firm that specializes in FIRPTA and put them in touch with the title company before closing.

I recommend looking into areas near economic bases - close to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, New Albany, etc.

What you are describing is essentially a double close. 

However the rates are nowhere your numbers :)I have cash saved to put 25% down plus closing cost.

Brokers can save you money by ensuring you get the best rates/terms, not to mention time savings and surety of close.

@Kaul Christian Kappenman - we did this play in 2019 - bought a new construction close to downtown and immediately turned it into a rental. 

We're about to close on our first duplex in CA.

Wholesaling is mostly about marketing and sales, so it will take a lot of practice for you to feel comfortable taking control of a conversation and closing a sale.

Hi all,New to Bigger Pockets but started following real estate closely a long time ago.

To add a 4th point if you will, more like point "3a" (it's kinda closely tied to your 3rd point), if the Buyer ever wanted to sell, the Buyer would be "locked in" to that deal for at least a decade or until the house was "above water".
