Let them know you're interested in buying the property and explain that you’re considering wholesaling it, which means you might find another buyer who will take over the deal.

I'm just dealing with the county, and I'm curious if anyone else in my area has gone through the permitting process and what their tactics were to get it through. 

Analyze properties, submit offers, and close on the deal. 

Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

I’m working on a fix and flip deal.

The thing is if you are doing any type of wholesale deals and the closing attorney gets a wiff of it,  they are not going to close a deal for you and risk their law license.

Tough neighborhoods still, but plenty of fixer uppers and low cost plots make it ideal for scrappy individual investors looking to get started on the cheap.

A lot of my out-of-state clients have closed on their off market flips and BRRRR deals with the help of wholesalers.

The Cosigner Agreement states they are financially responsible, all communication will take place through the actual occupants, I don't deal with helicopter parents, they are responsible for payment of rent as well as any cleaning/repairs after termination, etc.Don't forget it's not easy to sue a cosigner if they live in another county.
