Ed, sorry to hear about your situation. I don't have a magic solution, but I can show you a thread on one way to find buyers. Here's the link:

http://www.deangraziosi.com/real-estate-forums/marketing-buyers-and-sell...

There are many more ways to find buyers, but this is by far the quickest. It takes work (as all successful people know), but nothing worth having comes free.

On a random note:
A traveler in ancient Greece was searching for Mount Olympus. While on his search he met an old man walking along the road. The traveler asked the man, "Can you tell me how to get to Mount Olympus?" The old man, who turned out to be Socrates, replied: "Just make sure that every step you take is in that direction."

Hi Ed,

Sorry to hear about your situation. Tell you wife these things you are streesed about don't define you but are merely obsticals to overcome. I know a lot about stress. I have been in the real estate business for a long time and also in investing and I have made a ton of money and have lost a ton of money. I have also reached my breaking point two years ago and wanted to do something similar to your wife but as I sat out on the ledge of life I starting to think why am I letting others control my life and dictate my emotions. So I am here to help you guys in any way I can. Below is my outline on finding buyers, follow it and I know you will find buyers. Send me a private message if you wish and we can continue on this journey together. I would don't think anyone should go out the way your wife wanted there is to much to live for....

below will explain Why the www has been edited

That is pretty intense, but you have to keep your sight on your goal that will get you out of the bad situation; if you haven't done so,already, read DG's book Totally Fulfilled; it's a mind changing book, just awesome!

A great waynto find serious buyers is to look for recent sold properties that have been rehabbed and resold, or are currently being rehabbed; very likely that the buyer is an investor looking for more properties to,flip!

Wishing you and your wife peace and success,

Best wishes to you both!

I must say I really got very useful information on your reply to ED's message. I really had problems finding buyers. My agent thought I was playing with her because I had told her I buy houses cash. My question is on the whole selling process, I have no knowledge of Real estate when I get a property that I want to wholesale how do I go about it? when I inform my buyers do I give them a marked up price? I really am confused and its taking me back. I really need someone who can just walk me through the whole process once then I will be up and running. I look forward to hearing from you. My private email is buyinghouses@**** any information is appreciated

Here is a quick example that should help you out.

properties market value is 100,000
rehab on property is 10,000
investor wants 20% equity
you want to make 3,000

here is how to run the numbers

$100,000
- 20,000 equity for the investors
- 10,000 rehab on property
- 3,000 your profit

= $67,000 The most amount of money you will pay for the property

turn around assign the property to investor for $70,000 for your $3,000 profit.

Hope this helps
