Wholesale in NJ, Good Deal?

Hey guys, here is something else that I’m working on.

Got a house in good shape and spoke with the owner and settled on buying the house for $235k and it’s worth $300k. I told them that I’m an investor and would be finding someone to live in the house. I hoped to sell for $250k and get an assignment fee. All was going great and then I filled out an option contract and they took it to their lawyer and he wants it done as a regular deal with $5k down and a regular contract. I don’t want to put myself at risk by putting up the money. How do I go about talking with the seller and letting them know that I’m not going to do this the “traditional” way and still get the contract? Thanks for the help. DAVE

That’s almost 80% below market value not a very good deal to wholesale just by the numbers alone. No investor would take that deal at all I know I wouldn’t.

I was hoping to retail this one to a regular buyer for a huge discount. I think there would be plenty of people in this market looking for a great deal. DAVE
