What be the best/creative ways to effectively reach out to these home owners?

With all this in mind, I would have to second @Brendan Miller's recommendation of heavily considering selling as it doesn't sound like there's much cash flow to offer an attractive reason to hold.The only other piece of this puzzle is to determine what your goal is so that you can effectively leverage the gains.

Even if you can’t get a loan, the owner may be willing to take payments over time, effectively being the lender for you. 

There is a psychological effect to knowing someone else wants what you want, and that tends to bring out multiple offers, so maybe your realtor is trying to counteract any effect there.

I hope I selected the appropriate Forum Category for my question ...I am getting started in Wholesaling and have been checking on properties in my area, and talked with the owner of a property who has been fixing up the property and is ready to sell it.

Just got my salesperson license… what questions should I ask the brokerages I’m considering working with to help evaluate which is the best fit?

Good Morning BIGGERPOCKETS FAMILY:QUESTION: I am interested for a property that Asking price its 135k , 3 days inspection period and 3-5 k escrow deposit  ; i need to made this deposit  in 2 -3 days , my question its THE SELLER are asking FOR A PROOF OF FUNDS, that i need to got from a private lender or hard money or conventional loan , in this time the seller will be receive all the offers and just select one ; THE best OFFER FOR him; how i compete to be the first to secure the property????

I brought about $10k to the game and to be able to effectively market for business I should have brought at least $25k. 

Think about the domino effect what you described will cause.

In that respect, longer term, I think the EM will have the exact opposite effect that the liberals intended (can you say negative unintended consequences).
