We had a home that we were going to rehab. We decided that the location/profit was a little thin. I'm kind of a stubborn 65% - Repairs kind of guy. 

We decided we might as well try to wholesale it and just rehab it if we couldn't move it. 

I like to post rather vague Craigs List ads. Something like "Tremendous investment opportunity" The zip code, asking price, and pictures. We had a guy get in touch with us asking if he could run it by a few of his buyers. He sent us an option to purchase with a contingency that if we sold the property on our own the agreement was void. 

Basically a "let me see if I can sell it first". Well I think we'll use this guy again. 

We had the property under contract for under 3 hours. My business partner met him and two of his buyers at the home. One of them agreed to purchase it for our asking price (plus this guys 2k bird dog fee). 

I can't complain about 10k in 3 hours.
