It sounds like you are definitely being tricked by a scam artist. 

Or, she's very sophisticated and scamming you.

"Wholesaling" is not about scamming sellers into taking less than they can get listing with a realtor.

These aren't the 1st & surely won't be the last folks I've encountered who live this way.

Now your comp will be the talk of the market trying to figger out what was the deal but it will quickly be determined that you got scammed and your cap rate comp will be excluded from consideration. 

There is no magic bullet, or system or anything that solves all your problems no matter what the scam gurus out there try to tell you.

There is enough margin to do well with out scamming or taking advantage.  

I've myself gone through this and i wouldn't do it again.The US tax system is generally defavorable to foreign investors, notably in the fact that unless a special agreement has been drafted between your father's country and the US, his estate could be taxed at a confiscatory rate of 40% above $60,000 if he passes away.I'm not going to go over all the problems you and your dad may encounter, but maybe you should work out something and avoid having him on the titleThe investment is small and will have IMHO too many complications to make any sense.If you decide to go ahead regardless, draft a power of attorney with your dad allowing you to carry banking and legal operations in his name. 

The longer you carry the risk, the greater the probability that you will encounter a negative event.
