A friend of mine who is still a wholesaler and a very good one, has done deals with sellers that sold to him for less than someone else because they liked and felt they could trust him.

I couldn't find contracts for two windows; I'm guessing they had been installed by the person who sold me the building. 

As a commercial broker I’m also curious if any of these developments have sold after being built out.

So I bought a four-family property last June, and then sold my first single family (which didn't actually cash flow very much) and put the proceeds into a much better cash flowing single family in November.So, I purchased 5 units in about six months.

The homeowner is a firm on a sell price of 104K on a home that has not been renovated at all and is about 10K more than other homes that have sold around it in the last 6 months or longer. 

Basically there is no contingency period, and the prices go up significantly from the starting bid and often don't meet the reserve price and go through the process again several times before they are sold.

Results can change if investors do not make their final payments for their lien purchases.Dollar amount sold was about $200,000 less than year.

Yes, BUT that was money that would have gone to my broker anyway (but I could have sold it the moment I get it as there's no vesting period on what I purchase). 

I’m finding (most notably trulia) that the main reason for a home to be sold cash only is because a bank won’t finance it mainly for 1 of 2 reason.  

I’m not sure if you have any insights as to the construction cost, but one nicer home was built in the area and it sold for $78 a square foot, which I think would be close to the cost of building one.
