Hello Everyone, I'm located in Tuscaloosa, AL. Real estate has always interested me, and I'm looking to buy a foreclose located really close to the local area I group up in. I would be looking to fix it and flip it. The current listing price is 130k. It's currently a bank owned property. I wanted to know if most investors are able to negotiate any with the bank. I do not think there is an auction on it. I'll be meeting a buyers agent tomorrow to look at the property, so I would like any advice on questions to ask tomorrow. I would be looking to put 30k in the property and try to sell it around 200k. I would potential make 40k on it. I would like to know if those margins are to tight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
