I have to disagree with everyone who said that having a buyers agent is the best approach.

But this is the wrong approach.

If it not, the mortgage company will confiscate the insurance check and dole it out piecemeal and subject you to inspections before they dole out each breadcrumb.Also, if it is an older house, it will have to brought up to code, which will cost more money. 

What's the best way to approach this scenario so that I can get the properties under contract to wholesale them?

One approach, which is admittedly only a small hedge, is to re-fi in the near future if you can get a fixed rate.

Recently brought to slight attention in the media, although in the works for nearly 2 years.  

I can't say that approach doesn't work.

There are several approaches that may be taken as well, such as labor contributions by the buyer. 

With this approach, the internal opening can be found in 82.6% of cases.

I have approached a lot of sellers from my DM campaign about using seller financing and they are just not interested because they want to cash out.The Solution:So I want to engineer a double transaction where I get the seller to originate the note, and then take that note to a note buyer right after the closing so the seller can cash out and I get my seller financed note.
