@Peter Schaub  as it relates to most of the BP wholesalers I think they fall into a two categories.. ones that are established and can close if they need.. and the beginners who have no hope of closing unless they resell..

I do know however that corporate landlords don't file forms saying they want to move into a tenant's unit as a way of evicting them for fear that the established path for nonpayment of rent does not work.

Hi Ned,I made the claim to the insurance company.I don't believe that I had established service.

Starting out and looking to establish a long relationship with Private money lenders local to my area.  

But keep in mind you will need to establish US credit using an EIN (this will take 6-12 months) and have a US bank account.  

Or just wait until at some point when her credit is established, have her buy the house for the remaining amount she owes? 

If you establish a reputation of taking advantage of agents and people in general, you won't be considered a reliable buyer and when competing, will often lose out to a buyer offering a little less money. 

Its taken me a few years of doing this to establish relationships. 

You must establish a specific set of search criteria.  

It is always a gamble you take on any offer you accept.BUT -- to reduce your chances of the buyer not qualifying for a loan, ask to have the buyer cross-qualified by a lender you know, like and trust.
