First thing I would find out is how much will it take to get the bank off or your back. Once that is taken care of then you can tackle it from there. Are you going to personally flip it or flip it to an investor?

@Jason Byrdsell welcome to BP! Atlanta is a good market if you can get in the right places. I have a guy who specialized in tax sale stuff there and likes the return he gets. If you are ever wholesaling in the Augusta area please feel free to reach out to me. As far as pre-foreclosure goes yes you are still signing the contract with the owner. Just make sure that you give yourself time to get the property taken care of before it goes to auction. 

As far as the "zestimate" goes all Zillow is doing is taking property values within a certain range and averaging them together and coming up with that price. You can use that but finding good solid comps are always best. When presenting an offer to an seller having the zestimate, tax value, and comps are all good things to have. Are you looking to try to flip or B&H? If it is B&H I have a pretty cool "trashflow" analysis that I use for properties that dont have real good comps for them.

Feel free to reach out to me with any questions and best of luck!

David Lowe welcome to BP! I wholesale in the areas you are looking to buy homes. I am working on a good rental right now and would like to get together and find out what exactly you are looking for. Best of luck!

I had a custom one built for my company but if I was going to purchase one I would recommend REI BLackbook. I met the CEO and lead programmer a couple months ago and it was a really well built program.

Kevin Fontleroy welcome to BP. LA sounds like a pretty tough market to crack into but in the long wrong numbers are just numbers and they can always be solved. I would say start by finding some buyers and focus on farming their area. That will give you a target market to get started. Once you start getting leads, what I like to do in Charleston is try to solve everyone's real estate problem. They are calling you for a reason. Help them and you will find so many more deals. Some will be able to be wholesaled, some will need retail (have an agent on your team), some will need to be rented (have a property manager on your team), and some will need creative financing. I find it true that if you do this for the right reason people will come to you for everything. Best of luck!

@Dante Murphy I have been working in the Summerville market for a couple of months. I actually just put one under contract last week and got an offer from a buyer today. Hope all can go well over the next couple weeks. Yes for sure I am down to meet up and lets talk how we can help each other out.

Did well during the storm, some flooding and a down tree but pretty good here as well.

This house still for sale?

Jeremy Gue welcome to BP! I wholesale in Columbia as well. Let's connect and see how we can help each other. I have a big buyer with a hedge fund that buys a good bit of the stuff I source and it also helps with an easy way to break down if it is a deal or not. Best of luck and look forward to working with you.

@Greggy Gordon I can source properties for you in Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia depending on what parts.

Welcome to BP. I will keep an eye out on some mobile home stuff for you!
