You’re dead on when you say to approach the seller first to finance the deal. Great info as usual. The CIA series has been incredible. Thanks!
Patrick Riddle

Hey Yolanda … thanks so much for the kind words … thank you for all the comments :)

Doug … most investors don’t even think to ask the seller for financing first and foremost. Glad you’re digging the CIA series.

Great job brother. This has been the one area that I have put on the front burner. I know I can make the first/second deal, but will I have any cheese($$$$) left to do deal # 4-5-6. Thanks again.

This came at a great time for me personally. Since I’ve been farming for sellers I’ve gotten some seller’s who have been a little reserved with their information.

I just found an agent who had a buyer fall out on a short sale deal. Bank had already approved the offer too. Do you think that an option to purchase contract would be the best route to wholesaling this out to another investor?
Patrick Riddle

You’re welcome Chris!

Lui … I always use my purchase and sale contract no matter what my exit strategy is … whether I’m wholesaling it or closing on it myself …

Dusty may cover this in Part 7 of the series but after you sign the contract, write the words, “and/or assigns” … that makes it explicit that the contract is assignable.
