We were all set to close on the sale of my flip until my buyers lender decided they needed a few more conditions cleared: It is a high interest (8%) jumbo loan with 10% and low 600 credit (640 maybe?).  

This site is geared towards finding motivated sellers as a wholesaler, not a buyer/listing agent.

I leave out mortgage interest etc due to cash buyer.

Specifically, I am looking for a duplex or triplex to live in and rent out the other unit(s) and begin to “house hack.”The good news is that I quality for a great first time home buyer conventional loan to buy a multi-family property with 5% down.

Hi my wife and I recently bought a house in Cleveland, Ohio to to renovate and sell to an investor or cash buyer.

Any advice on the best practices on building my list of investors/buyers before finding my first property?

I don't do luxury homes, I don't do BPOs, I don't focus on fix and flips, I don't market to first time home buyers, I don't focus on sellers wanting to sell a home.

If they won’t do that I let them know they may be subject to additional costs for collections, and that will hurt their future prospects for rentals as well as other credit based opportunities. 

So I would hold title as the buyer and she would essentially have equitable title or the equivalent of a 1st lien.

Their real value as I see it is their likely buyers list, funding sources, and networking capabilities.
