In other words, not getting a realtor will save you less than $5k, assuming you have priced your house correctly, were able to find the right buyer without at least paying for some kind of discount MLS service, and took care of all the paperwork properly.

This would be my first lease option and I was hoping to partner with someone that knows all the paperwork and process.  

My construction work day is just paperwork, so that would be a nice change of pace.

You'll need to have them served with the paperwork though, which you could do through a process server local to them if you know where they live. 

Maybe they are concerned that a potential tenant is not on top of their paperwork? 

Always buy it, if you can, sometime after the 1st of the month for the rent credits.)Back to my point, nine days after I purchased the property, I walked into the assessor's office with all of my paperwork to get the valuation lowered from the $475K they had on it.

What are the chances of the seller, willing to sell or is there high chances of them not selling it, if I say I have to take a loan(since it takes time for the paperwork).

I just signed paperwork to sell my house, which I bought 10 years ago with the intention of renting out the second bedroom, gradually rehabbing and selling when the value got up to $100k.

you pretty much are seeking a person that does it all,  all u have to do is sign the paperwork. it really seems like you want a partner/assistant that can find a deal,  get an idea what it would be to rehab,  run the numbers since they have to know what rent u are getting ,  present it to you and u just sign on the line.  

Even in this case I would not provide the actual cash until all paperwork was completed to my satisfaction. eg. signed sales agate, prelim title, insurance, note, mortgage (or trust deed).
