Interestingly, the best offer we had for the property paying us all cash (with the buyer obtaining new financing) was $1.55 million.  

Two nights had been pretty good, but I agree withy Andrew-people taking up all the weekends and all that is left is weekdaysHmm, perhaps you can generate direct bookings through your site and offer two nights as a perk for those who book directly but keep a stricter policy through the OTAs.

Do NOT assume that properties on the MLS won't entertain these types of offers.

I have about 10k-15k saved up and would love to get into wholesaling on market/mls properties (I know that approach is atypical but I think a cash offer with the right terms can go a long way even though the market here is becoming more saturated).True!

A lot of land banks have similar offers.

They may be able to help with first time buyer options.I would reach out to local hispanic organizations and any housing non profits that may be assisting in finding people affordable housing. 

Some of them do offer data exports, but you'll have to do your own research on that.

In practice I'd offer to split costs with the tenant (fixture would remain).

I am also a professional landlord and would be willing to work out a plan to assist you with the management portion of your adventure as well!

I am just starting out wholesaling in the DFW market as was getting hung up on what formula is being used in this market from fix and flippers.I was making cash offers, but was wondering if there is a formula y'all are using more tailored to this market.
