I think in that time it has just appreciated/paid off enough that I could sell without bringing money to the table. 

I haven't been the treating this like the business that it is, and feel that I have left some money on the table.

I've done this several times both closing on transactions while I'm out of town and with partners in an LLC out of town.I'd ask the closing agency for a form or have them review the form before getting to the closing table.  

Clearly, they should stay involved to make sure the deal gets to the settlement table, but the "value add" on their part is complete.I just hate seeing newbies being taken advantage of by more experienced investors when Wholesaling deals. 99.9% of the deals that don't close have more to do with what the end-user buyer did (or didn't do) than what the Wholesaler failed to do, once you get to the point of having a signed agreement between the Wholesaler and end-user buyer.

Within 48 hours it had 9 or 10 offers on the table and sold for $5k above list price.While at a REIA meeting, one of the speakers who is basically a market analyst for the area noted that with the massive influx of people moving to this area there is a shortage of SFHs to the tune of around 4,000 properties.

Also, I'm curious to connect with people who are wholesalers and bringing deals to the table?

Is there anyway I can structure the deal so I can use the buyer down payment plus bring my money on the table to close that deal?

@Jay Hinrichs - you always bring such good knowledge and perspective to the table, thank you for starting this conversation.This has been a GREAT thread to read, with everyone's perspectives.

If you are buying a vacant or highly distressed foreclosure deal then you will need to bring cash to the table as most banks won't lend on these assets (depending on your relationship).  

The goods ones should now the numbers in general (or have quick access) and if you bring something good to the table, I bet they will share.
