Hi Michael,

Although I am new to wholesaling myself, I can say from my 10 years of sales that being transparent is the way to go. How you go about that is all up to how you Q&A your customer. You don't have to disclose your entire soul to them, but be legal and ethical.

With this in mind I would suggest not assuming what the potential customer believes about wholesalers. Be the problemsolver. If you can convey that you are the wholesaler/problemsolver, I think the seller will trust and be happy to sell to you. 

Good luck!

One of the tenants cuts the grass. 

As you all have suggested, the Shed is Coming Down. Looking forward to that.

I will look into the cost of a used metal shed. Depending on the look and cost of the shed it would benefit me the most to just go that route. Especially, if the one tenant keeps cutting the grass for free. If that doesn't work I will just bring a mower from my house and cut the grass every other week at the rental.

All of your suggestions have been greatly appreciated.  

thanks Carl. 

There is room in the backyard, but I think the shed's condition would not allow it to survive the 10ft move. 

Good advice on checking on the zoning requirements. 

Hi All,

I have a rental property (3bd, 1.5bath) one block from VCU. Off street parking is a nice selling point for this property and currently we have 2 and the potential for a 3rd. In order to have that 3rd parking spot we would have to tear down our small/old shed where the lawncare equipment is. I have thought about moving the shed into the backyard, but at this point that might be too much work and it may fall apart.

My question: Would you tear down the shed and have a 3rd off street parking spot? Any suggestions/creative thinking would be much appreciated. Also, if I do get rid of the shed what do I do about lawncare equipment/maintenance of the small yard?

Thanks,

HI All,

I live in the Glen Allen area. I own one rental near the VCU area and my wife and I are ready to start getting into more buy/hold & maybe flips. I use to be a Realtor in 2007 (only for a year before joining the Navy). I am looking to meet with others in the area and find a mentor/partner that would be willing to teach an eager/hardworking guy.

I will most likely (depending upon work/family) be at the Richmond REIA meeting this month. Hopefully I will meet some of you there.

Let me know if anybody is up to meet and talk in the Greater Richmond Area.

Thanks and have a great day.
