Hey Cory- congrats on the business! Love to see people start their own thing. I’m in columbus but my CPA is in Los Angeles. He is licensed in all states and is very real estate investor friendly. He’s an investor himself. He’s a ninja and knows his stuff. Let me know if you want his contact. DM me.

Hey Jeremy thanks for the comment yeah if you don't my sent me the info 

Hey everyone,

My business partner and I are officially starting up our wholesaling and fix and flip operation. We're out of Akron ohio. We are looking for recommendations on a good Lawyer and CPA that practices real estate law, taxes and strategies. Around the akron, canton or cleveland. Area we could meet with to talk about a few things. Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks

Deciding which software to go with depends on the type of leads you are looking for as well as data quality. Softwares can have differing "freshness" of data based on locations they support.

For example, one software may update their pre-foreclosure list for Akron, Ohio 1x a week and another 1x a month. The more up-to-date or "fresh" data the better. More up-to-date data can allow you to be one of the first individuals to reach out to a lead. Thus, a higher conversion rate. By trialing these softwares for a given region before committing to one you can make a direct comparison on data quality.

If you are just starting out, then I'd recommend to go free first and extract leads directly from public and/or county websites. This can also help familiarize yourself on the manual process before deciding what the best automated / scaled process is.

I appreciate the feed back thank you

I use propstream or the county pages for pulling lists. 

If that's not working you could work with an investment-focused agent as well. towards

 I was leaning towards propstream but just wasn't sure. Thanks for commenting

It depends on what you are shooting for. Are you pulling list to cold call or target via mailers? @Cory Ray

I was planning on trying to get some leads from cold calling 

Hey everyone,

Ive been currently looking at investment softwares for trying to find leads. There's so many of them. I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed on which to go with. I'm leaning more towards propstream but would just like opinions. Please let me hear your feed back. Thanks

If you can find a very similar property (properties) within a few blocks that is golden....but you will find that often there will be few, or sometimes none, within a close proximity.

This is when your talent will come into play. You have to attach a value to the amenities that houses have and do a guesstimate at the value that another area might have. It is very possible and sometimes the only way you have to go.

Experience will be your best teacher....

When you go outside of a neighborhood. How far out will you go? What kind of amenities do you consider more important over others? How do you add or subtract valve to a house outside of your neighborhood your looking into to consider it a value comps? 
Sorry for all the questions I just wanna try and understand as much as possible when I go to pull comps. I want to feel confident about the comps I use.

Hello Everyone,

Looking for some good rules of thumb when pulling comps on a property. When I pull comps. I try and stay in the same subdivision by not crossing main roads. For square footage I try and stay between +/- 250sqft. I try and look for property's with the same characteristics as my subject home by trying to look for property's with the same bedroom and bathroom count but I feel like it's hard to find good comps or enough comps to actually get a good evaluation If anyone does anything different I would love to hear your feed back. 

Im about to hop in to wholesaling with my buddy and I feel like I cant find a solid process for pulling comps for ARV. My buddy seems good at it but hes also a realtor.

Can you use a Helco to buy an investment property in ohio. If so what would that look like. Being a Helco and I'd be buying a property and adding debt to the helco.

Hey everybody,

Getting starting in house flipping with my business partner soon. Would love to get connected with as many real estate investors/wholesaler around the Akron/Canton area as possible. Just shoot a post or message me. Thanks everyone hope to start connecting with you thanks
