Approval will be based on income potential of property, your credit score, appraisal, down payment, the DSCR ratio - there are quite a few factors that play into the approval. 

But selling this will really give me the cash that I need for the new property, and potentially reinvest in another, or even settle an existing one - great equity in this property.

Therefore, buyers must also consider their time investment when assessing the worthiness of the property.What is your opinion on the matter?

I am looking at potentially getting into this arena. 

@Russell Brazil I don't think that will be the end result... or that MD considers agents wholesaling to be illegal.I think REALTORs have changed their focus to defending their commissions and cannot afford to fight this battle right now.From what I understand, Maryland is going to move to a disclosure requirement (I'm going to assign this contract; here's where you can find the assessed value of your property; etc.), with parties having the ability to cancel a contract and potentially keep the EMD when the required disclosures are not made by the wholesaler. 

Good morning all,I'm reaching out to tap into the collective wisdom of this community regarding a potential investment opportunity I'm considering.

I have some potential properties that I was interested in pursuing and was considering door-knocking to see if I can come up with a feasible win-win arrangement to purchase the house rather than have them go into foreclosure. 

So I've found a regional vacation market, the Poconos, that seems like it has properties in my price and potentially sufficient cash-on-cash returns to be worthwhile.

A loan option you could look into that will potentially preapprove you for more is a DSCR (Debt service coverage ratio) loan, which is based on the rental income of the investment property you are looking to purchase, instead of based on your personal income for a conventional loan.
