If your trying to buy as a rental and have minimal cash invested and possibly refi out of the seller finance.

'Wholesaling' should be done with the expectation that the 'wholesale' buyer may not find an 'end buyer'... and that's Ok, because the 'wholesaler' can then 'wholetail' the property after minimal capital improvements.

In other words we inflate the structure price and minimize the land value over standard assessment.

The agent is of course telling me this won't be a problem and expects a week delay at worst. 

I won't need much support from the brokerage firm would like minimal fees in exchange.

That involves consideration on forming a legal entity that you might have to hire someone to advise you,  figuring out your financing that you pe-qualify for and get a loan letter from the lender that will help you and give the owner a comfort level, and a new business location that is convenient and has minimal distractions.  

The inspection requests come right to me not through an agent on my end.From my experience the money I would be giving to a realtor to sell for me, is well worth keeping in my pocket for the minimal amount of work it has been.

Delays pushed that back till April. 

I had similar delay issues with ordered frameless shower kits.

It's OK to locate your new business in your living place if you can close it off and have minimal distractions, especially personal ones.Try to stay in control of everything you are responsible for.
