If the buyer is genuine and has the cash and reputation to close, then I'll go out of my way to accommodate the investor.

If they say that they have mold, send a reputable mold inspector out and run a test.

Wouldn't you rather have the reputation of the guy who ACTUALLY helps tenant-buyers through the process and gets them their home?

I started exploring wholesalers recently out of desperation to get any sort of decent return.  

I think this just clicked for me- it's the person that the banks look at rather than the cash flow from the property as they would if it were commercial RE. Putting

Lastly I would use a reputable title company (or attorney depending on your state) to close the transaction.

And the person needs to be turned in and prosecuted  LOLI am all for profit's  its how we do business.. but taking advantage of the elderly simply is not one that I subscribe too.. a 240k property that only needs 20 k in work.. is certainly NOT only worth 90k..most folks would be tickled pink to pay 150k a 240k prop that only needs 20k... had this seller simply gone to a reputable realtor and the property was exposed to the open market fair market value would have been achieved for all.Now I get Hoarder houses and super low value deals... etc etc.. especially with how intense the asbestos laws and lead paint laws have gotten.. the old days of just a wink and nob get rid of it is over.so on the face of it. some of these homes will need to go for VERY low dollars to make them viable.
