Let them know you're interested in buying the property and explain that you’re considering wholesaling it, which means you might find another buyer who will take over the deal.

I'm just dealing with the county, and I'm curious if anyone else in my area has gone through the permitting process and what their tactics were to get it through. 

Analyze properties, submit offers, and close on the deal. 

I’m working on a fix and flip deal.

Now you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

The thing is if you are doing any type of wholesale deals and the closing attorney gets a wiff of it,  they are not going to close a deal for you and risk their law license.

A lot of my out-of-state clients have closed on their off market flips and BRRRR deals with the help of wholesalers.

@Scott TrenchPeople thought last year we reached the peak but reality is we are just scratching the surface as many deals that were in trouble were hoping for rates to come down have not - so it’s gonna get worse before it gets betterThis one seems sketch to me honestly as if original poster is reading this why wait four years ?

Get's rid of the slimy sellers and the weasels in the business.A broker/agent wants to know UPFRONT if they are dealing with a sleazy seller that will not properly compensate a broker/agent for bringing a competent buyer to the table.  

The Cosigner Agreement states they are financially responsible, all communication will take place through the actual occupants, I don't deal with helicopter parents, they are responsible for payment of rent as well as any cleaning/repairs after termination, etc.Don't forget it's not easy to sue a cosigner if they live in another county.
