Also, check the comps, are you competitively priced for what you offer?

But, see next bit about working off-market sellers for a commission.If I am working with investors looking to flip and I source the property for them, I charge the off-market seller a small commission for bringing them the deal and I run the deal as dual agency to keep the transaction friendly and on track.

Next, IF you have access to private funding (family, friends, colleagues), THEY would likely charge less than HML Interest Rates for any balance still needed.

@Jason Timmerman - Has your wholesaler friend actually done this?  

The new investors that bring investor friendly realtors (such as myself) value is when they start to bring me wholesale deals i can help place with another investor.

This is typically a pretty competitive industry, but the old adage that you get what you pay for is also appropriate here.

I am friendly with both the stroke survivor and investor and after hearing the circumstances was wondering  (hoping) he might have some kind of coverage.  

Thank BP friends!!

Do you have any family/friends that could meet the GC?

I have a great lead on a rental property that I can purchase from a friend.
