And is it better for a wholesaler to buy/sell a home under a tax foreclosure or a mortgage foreclosure?

It will be a 50/50 profit split when the houses sell.

If youre not trying to sell me anything maybe we could meet in Greeley Windsor someday.Brett n Chrisann ReeseGreeley

Or, could I even sell in 18 months if I'm in the Indy area that length of time?  

If it's a cash deal to keep as a rental, I would approach it totally different than if the intent is to re-sell and the buyer will need a traditional loan. 

This has still benefited my clients when they sell, but it isn't the same strategy as looking for a property that will have big cash flow the second you leave. 

It's better to connect and build rapport and let them ask you for deals.Reach out if you have any questions or need help selling a property. 

After selling the house on a lease option, I left some money in the deal (about $15,000).

Great Thank you Mark for your asnwer, very helpful.I am looking as something a little more " done deal" thank an option to by as from what io understand the seller can still sell to other parties. is there a close that stops that?

Sometimes you can find someone that is willing to sell to you at a discount since they are tired of owning it, and want to use the money to focus on a more passive investment.
