You'd have them fill out a loan application through a lender at their expense (usually $250ish, and have lender send info to you) and have them submit pay stubs, bank statements, and you'd do an employment verification. You're not fannie/freddie/or penny Mac so you don't need to follow typical underwriting guidelines but you do want to go over their financials and decide if you think they're a good risk.
Or sell to someone with a great reputation in the subto community.

Colleen Wick thanks Colleen ! When you say “fill out a loan application through a lender”, what do you mean here?
My thinking was Since this would be a creative deal there wouldn’t be any additional lenders involved. Are you saying the buyer can just use the application process from any lender and I get that information sent over to me?

I only sell my creative deals to people within the subto community because of the accountability within-- but outside of that, I would ask any buyer to procure at least 3 HUDS, as well as POF. I would also require them to set up servicing with a reputable company, to ensure smooth payments. As the wholesaler, your relationship/rapport with the seller will be at risk, but legally there's nothing I can think of against you if it goes south. Make sure to connect the seller with your end buyer, so they have direct contact. And just make sure you're transparent with the seller, so that they don't come back to you with issues-- they can go straight to the buyer.

Honestly there isn’t a way so guarantee they will perform. That’s why I prefer to sell to another buyer through a wrap and stay involved in case I need to help the seller foreclose down the line. Just assigning a sub to deal to another buyer (even if you qualify them) puts the seller in an exposed situation because without another debt instrument like a wrap they have no recourse to get property back. You could try the whole deed in escrow thing but many buyers may balk at that.

Chris Crawford hmmmm so instead of assigning, you’ll wrap, that’s interesting. Are your wrap terms close to the creative terms but just with a “fee” for you included?

JoeDocei Hill yeah it’s just a mirror wrap but it creates a mortgage so they could foreclose if they needed to down the line.

Could you add a Performance Deed to the original contract that would be passed along to the end buyer? If end buyer does not accept, he's not your guy.
