People are always in some sort of circumstances that have a financial factor and a wholesale buyer can bring a solution swiftly.

What would be my ideal end buyer, and what would I comp it against?

But it has to be at some sort of discount.You also need to build a buyers list.Something you can start first thing tomorrow to get your feet wet is to jump on craigslist/zillow/kijiji and call every house for rent ad in your area and ask them 2 questions:1.

Get on everyone's buyer's list and you'll have deals to evaluate in your inbox everyday of the week.

My current focus is on Cash Buyers, Wholesalers, Discount Properties,  Motivated Sellers, and Off-Market Properties.   

I’m new at wholesaling as well and been in contact with a lot of lowball buyers.

I have found a buyer who is interested.

I sold it FSBO, agreed to 1.5k realtor commission (mistake) for the buyer agent etc etc. - I decided I didn't want to mess with it because Im starting another project with higher potential return.Now, as an example, I look at this one:https://www.zillow.com/homes/63-GRANVUE-DRIVE-BELL...Its on the Auction block, if I picked it up for 2 or 3k, and sold it for 10k to someone else who wants to work with it, essentially a wholesale deal, and didn't spend any money fixing it up, and agreed to max 1k realtor fees if any, I might make some money on it.If you go to our county tax assessor site, and search '63 Granvue', youll see that 1) the total taxes for 2018 are $2981.38, and 2) they are paid by the bank already for 2018 http://www.co.st-clair.il.us/Pages/parcel.aspxWhat I am asking is - if I bought this at auction, and sold it within a couple of months as a property someone else can rehab, how would the property taxes work / what would I end up paying? 

My question is when I find the buyer to purchase am I asking for the sellers original asking price plus the 2nd mortgage or just one or the other?
