But a good general rule of thumb is to be the middleman throughout the entire transaction.

I still can't seem to see the dots yet connected...My goal is to simply get the properly under market without going through any wholesalers or any middleman using this lien synergy concept, where no matter what I still win... regardless if the property is sold at the auction to someone else or sold to me... 

If you want to disclose every single time no matter what, I highly advice you don't pitch yourself as a middleman.

So they now own a house that is rented and the rent covers the mortgage payment by a ration of 1.25:1 or so and they have 5k extra in their pockets and their Heloc money, which they only needed 75k - 80k of - so 100k HELOC should be plenty - was enough. to get through the lifecycle.Do not let them drain their equity from primary and just sink it into a project. 

This may have changed, but the rational was gym goers stay for hours, tying up parking.  

My turnkey middleman (which is what RTR serves as, an intermediary and not the actual rehabber) even intervened and they have ghosted him.

While the ugly scenario is unlikely, the reccomendation is rational.

Might as well cut the middle man out and go directly to the source. 

They have to be in serious pain, rational enough to see the benefit.

If they are, then the lender is playing middleman between you, Title, and the actual investor/wholesale lender who is underwriting the loan.
