It's definitely more cost effective than paying someone, assuming you have the skills to do it yourself and you have the ability to store furniture between rehabs.At one point, we had about 11 sets of furniture, which was good when we had a lot of projects going on. 

Since this would be a sale you need to make sure they qualify under Dodd Frank and ability to repay requirements.  

Real wholesalers have the capacity and financial ability to close deals they tie up.

I like the contingency idea and that's why I was comfortable going with the rule of thumb offer so I can back out if something is not right after seeing their data@Bob Bowling  You are right but I need a starting point to get more information regarding the property.

I believe in myself, my business partner, our vision, and the skills and abilities that we have gained over the last year.

Be prepared to show you are the real deal, if you are looking at 50+ units you should have some cash behind you, and the ability to close.

Further, once someone became serious about the purchase it would be disclosed by necesity of the process.The first buyer to offer on the property, negotiates with the lender and this initial offer proceeds much as regular transaction what with the ability to have due diligence clauses such as inspection, financing etc...

Until I realized I need to utilize my creativity, ingenuity, number crunching forte, ability to sell and impeccable customer service skills.  

I'd like it for back rent but unless you have a Bill of Sale notarized, let the Police handle it.

Creative financing is about the use of your money, use of assets, meeting the needs of the parties, setting goals that lead to conventional financing, using your abilities and knowledge to earn your way into ownership and using other sources of funding that are available to you, it's not a magic pill for having no knowledge, money and credit.Alternatives are endless, not knowing what you have available to work with or knowing the motivations and needs of the seller, you can't arrive at a solution, first identify the problems to be overcome. :)
