For anyone that likes Listsource - I found a site that pull the same lists for wayyyyy cheaper $0.05 per lead - http://cheappropertylist.com/

@Dennis M. plenty of exceptions, don't you worry ;)

Hi Warren - I have a property for sale in Muskegon Heights if you're interested shoot me a message! (I'm the owner, not a wholesaler)

Investment Info:

Single-family residence other investment in Flint.

Purchase price: $300
Cash invested: $1,620
Sale price: $22,000

This property is a *perfect* example of the system I am currently using:

House needed junk removal, had an abandoned MJ grow set up in the basement, and had a HOLE in the ROOF - but I did NONE OF THAT WORK :)

I sell it 'AS IS' on a land contract. Buyer takes care of all maintenance, utilities, insurance & taxes. I am now the BANK - not a property manager!!!!!!

Oh yea & I did this all virtually, never even saw the house.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Bought the house at the end of Oct. for $1,920 all in - including taxes & property preservation

How did you finance this deal?

After buying, I had to wait ~6 weeks for the deed to arrive (the county processing time) during that time I marketed the property for sale AS IS on FB Marketplace & Craigslist. Got plenty of interest, and ultimately settled on a land contract price of $22,000 w 10% down, 7% interest, 7 year contract.

What was the outcome?

As soon as the deed arrived (early Dec) we got the land contract signed & notarized. Buyer paid a down payment of $2,200 (so now I've recouped my full investment) and is paying $332/month for 7 years - which is PURE PROFIT

At the end of the contract I will bring in $27,891 including interest

Lessons learned? Challenges?

If the buyer defaults on the property, no worries, I will just do it all again & make EVEN MORE!!

@Charles Kao I've developed a system that works pretty smoothly everywhere in lower MI so I'm not super picky about where, as long as the price is right. I'm actually really liking the Flint market right now. I'll definitely keep in touch in regards to Muskegon, excited to connect!
