Can anyone recommend any good loan servicing companies they have used, especially for subject-to deals in the Dallas/ DFW area?

Can anyone comment on what we need to know about wholesaling a subject-to house to a retail buyer (owner-occupant). I've got a house under contract where there's not enough equity for the owner to want to invest to fix it up and sell it retail, so I offered the subject-to route to him. My investor buyers are reluctant because the loan (8.5%) is too steep.
I know Phill Groves had been teaching his AMPS system where investor/wholesalers serve as transaction engineers and link up the seller and the retail buyers for a fee. Is this still possible with the new Dodd-Frank regulations?
How would we make this work?

@Derrick Samuels Yes, both of these strategies are used frequently in Texas. I did a sub-to with a partner last year, and we were looking to sell through owner financing on a wrap, before we ended up changing strategy.
One thing to be mindful of is the new Dodd-Frank regulations affecting owner financing strategies starting this year. You can read up on it in many forums here on BP.

@Gautam Venkatesan I haven't had to use a GC in my investing yet, and I'm curious. How much do you generally pay a GC?

@Muaz I. Hey Muaz, how's the wholesaling coming along so far?
I also got started in wholesaling in Dallas towards the end of last year and looking to connect with other wholesalers.
