Hello! I am in San Diego, CA. I have a very motivated seller who lives in San Diego, but owns 2 homes in Tacoma WA. I am new to the industry and have not had any experience with any out of state deals. The seller is open to doing a lease option / rent to own or wholesaling at the right price. Both homes are historic and in good neighborhoods. One home needs minor updating. The second home has been recently updated and has a finished basements with 2 additional bedrooms. I am looking to network/partner with someone who has experience with this type of transaction & who would be willing to provide me with some guidance along the way. I have no problem putting in all of the work if I can just be pointed in the right direction.  

Hi Danny, 

They had purchased a larger home in the area, and were hoping to avoid having two mortgages. After I negotiated a price with them, based on their original listing price, I noticed they had dropped their asking price. 

Thank you guys. I've definitely learned a lot from this, and appreciate all of the feedback. Can't learn from your mistakes with out making 'em :) 

Thanks again, you've all been very helpful.

Thank you all for the feedback, it's very much appreciated! 

Thank you very much for your reply Brian! 

Hello! I am a newbie investor & currently have my first home under contract in Poway, (San Diego County) CA.  I am hoping for some advice on whether or not I can wholesale it. 

Single Family home: 3br (optional 4br) 3ba, 1,638sqft, .43 acre lot (fenced), RV parking & zoned for horses. Built in 1959 with renovations made in 2007, including new electrical throughout. The interior is in really great shape, little to no work needed. The exterior is in decent shape, the only thing is, its a dirt lot, little landscaping & cement driveway needed, depending on buyer. Similar comps in the area are going anywhere from $550,000 - $580,000. I currently have it under contract for $527,500. If this is not a good wholesale deal, can anyone recommend what else I can do with the property, rather than throw it away. Seller is not open to a Lease Option.
