State and local governments have been significantly increasing taxes on rental income over the last decade by adding or increasing sales tax on rental income, Forcing all real estate owners to get liscenses to be able to rent properties, increased government inspections of properties prior to new tenants moving in, increased property taxes, etc.

If you're concerned about the ability to re-rent the place maybe you agree to conclude the lease in 2 months instead of 1 month (or immediately) to give you more marketing time. 

Once I am able to source a potential deal, I would work with a firm to perform the financial analysis such as creating the pro forma, underwriting financial models, partnership structuring, etc. in order to increase credibility on the financial side.Next is when I would be working with a legal team to draft the PPM (506c), Subscription Agreement, Questionnaire, and so forth.

So, typically on a $200,000 property, I spend about $25,000 to control it, I get $25,000 back out immediately from the Tenant Buyer, I have a spread of $6,000 to $8,400 for each year, so a note that pays off in one year totals $31,000 plus or minus and a ten year total is $109,000 plus or minus.

Traditional wholesale: Sold to a flipper who is going to rehab the property and is looking to resell for an immediate profit, this requires you (the wholesaler) to get a very low price.

In my immediate vicinity (area that I worked extensively) and did most of my business in there were 2 subdivisions on acreage lots .
