@Jeff Norton do a comparison of what benefits they offer vs costs against just opening your own.

. ~6 years ago I purchased a property (seller finance) in WV using an attorney (not a title company) and was never even offered title insurance.

I would like to offer the money and split the profit.

This is extremely common in the Detroit market, but it seemed very odd to me initially also.You simply put an inspection period in your offer so you can walk it and decide if it's for you or not.In terms of rent rolls, etc. you may not be getting a response on this for the same reason.

Should I offer lower?    

I could of really focused more on marketing and advertising to nurses and if you can contract with the employing agencies and offer them some consistency [location and perception and price biggest factor] and have them rent directy might yield some interesting results.

They're probably trying to wholesale it and don't want to disclose to their end buyer they are offering no value for their assignment fee.  

Syndication A is 900 employee with 30 years track record, Syndication B is 1 year syndication graduated from Cardone school of institution run by three people, the Syndication A offering lets say conservative 10% IRR Class B Core ; syndication B like you offering value add somewhere in Dallasville Class C value-add promising 15%IRR.

Easiest is calling on folks who already said they want to sell, listed and FSBO, offering to rent. 

Include this in your sales pitch when reaching out.3) Offer STR services to build up cash and get your foot in the door...Cleaning, eyes on the property, landscaping, running to the store, small tasks such as a mail collection/trash day, offer a STR experience such as setting up for bachelor/bachelorette parties or grocery runs, etc...I think there's a missed opportunity with service based businesses and STRs.
