Due Diligence

[Damien Dupee]

Hello BP,

I am in need of some expertise. I just recently passed the dc real estate license exam and am patiently waiting for the approval of my application. I was driving for dollars and stumbled across some "abandoned" properties in my neighbor hood. I have a neighbor who is interested in buying fixer uppers in the neighborhood. I went to the office of tax and revenue website for dc and found a name who possibly owns the property. I was wondering how I can start to  wholesale  deals to my neighbor/ investors after doing my  due diligence and getting it under contract.

1.) How can I get more info on the property?

2.)What contracts do I need in place?

3) How do I present the deal to investors and my neighbor?

Any links to articles or forums would be greatly appreciated.
