The alternative is to use hard money, private money, etc., and buy it yourself for 40k, lease it to the buyer for 90 days, and close after that... then you could resell for 75k or whatever without the 20% concerns.Nick

Read my post here for an alternative idea:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/34139--how-do-you-wholesale-a-building-Your votes are always appreciated :cool:

Targeted buyers are primarily those who do not want to be bothered by external maintenance typically associated with home ownership, sometimes because they only live in the patio home for part of the year.[1]There is not usually a legal definition of a patio home, and some houses called patio homes may alternatively be marketed as townhouses, garden homes, twin homes,[2] or carriage homes[3].

This just seems like a better alternative.

I heard from other investors that it can be hard to find these owners but I have been having some success finding their alternative addresses.

The alternative is, let us say, $1.6 million in 3 years including some appreciation.

I agree with this wholeheartedly…regardless of whether or not it adds fuel to our current problem.

Mine's longer term, but essentially I'm willing to work for a lower return in exchange for building up equity.As far as the minimum you will accept, consider your alternative investments.

They won't be charging or have alternative purposes, like selling you something.

Alternatively just have the investor cloud title using the standard process and pay them for use of their money.
