@Jaquan Dupree Make sure all your calculations are correct. I mostly refer to the after repair value of the house. Inspect the property yourself and if possible take opinions from other contractors. Short sale and foreclosures are both equally good targets for a buyer. Most importantly, try to take your time to assess all your potential leads before sticking to one. Great deals are lying around everywhere just waiting to be found.
Good Luck on getting this deal!
