Sounds like you're not wholesaling but retailing helping them making a purchase and moving along.J.

There is far too much easier, faster, and better money to be made selling at retail to consumers.

Not massive BUT GOT IT DONE IN 5 days!!!!!

It might be tempting to look for the cheapest property possible but the demand for good locations is massive in Charlottesville (and I'm guessing other college towns) and this is an owner's market with respect to rents.  

What I also found interesting is that an investor, not an occupant, was attracted to your property at a price that appears would have been retail. 

Unless there is a massive earthquake or a mass tech exodus, I am confident I will be just fine.

I have no problem as I said cutting a check to them and be done with it or buying the condo from my mother Full Retail " Never thought I would do that again " LOL " !!!

In the end, you have to take massive action and be totally committed to the outcomeGino

The MLS is where homes go for retail, so you may want to think about incorporating that into your exit strategy as you start getting properties under contract 

My motto became I only looked at properties "no one knew about, or no one wanted", otherwise I believe you are paying retail and that never works.
