POF Letter when you wholesale a property with listing Agent?
How do you provide a Proof of Funds Letter when you intend to wholesale a property with a listing Agent?
Which realtor (i.e. buy, sell, etc.) will most likely request the document?
Some forums suggest requesting a POF Letter from a hard money lender but would you need an prior relationship for them to remit the letter?

As a Realtor, I require POF from buyers whether I'm on the buy side or the list side. As a selling agent, I can't make offers on properties the buyer can't afford, and the listing agent can't/shouldn't accept an offer without a POF.
Also, how are you wholesaling using a listing agent? The listing agent shouldn't be able to sell a house without a listing agreement (contract) with the owner -- they shouldn't be able to sign a listing agreement with a 3rd party, whether or not that 3rd party has a contract to buy. . . Are you having the agent use their contract/listing agreement when you put the property under contract?
