Thanks Rick, I've considered and thought about it multiple times about how I can use this external network or people I've developed relationships with to benefit me. My dream if you will is to one day establish a quality housing development to support soldiers and their families near military installations across the US.

Thanks Dustin, I will be going to the COREE meeting next week, If your looking for any properties in Delaware County let me know I'm driving for dollars and jotting down every vacant property I find in the county. So if your looking for certain types of property I'll keep an eye out.

Hello BP,

My name is Craig T. Tauterouff currently residing in Delaware, OH which is about 20 minutes north of Columbus originally from the Rochester, NY area. Married with 3 kids, I'm currently a recruiter for the United States Army and have served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan going on my seventh year of Active service. I've always been fascinated with real estate and recently came across a article about wholesaling that related directly to what I do day to day as a recruiter. I saw this as an opportunity to put my recruiting skills to work in the civilian sector. Since then I've been absorbing as much knowledge as I can from the BP podcasts and forums. I plan on attending as many REI meetings around Columbus as possible and learning whatever I can to be successful. I would love to get a successful mentor who is willing to teach me whatever they know in return I would help them with whatever they need.

Hope this is in the right section first and foremost.

Found a home via craigslist that has been unoccupied for the last 8 years. Owner recently had it listed at 60k and more recently dropped it to 45k. Upon conversation stated he would be willing to take 40k which makes me believe I can probably talk him down to 35-38k. Simply by doing a drive by and running comparables this house completely redone can be moved for a easy 175k-200k. Other listed properties in the area are around 250k to 300k. This home is just shy of the same sq footage by about 300 sq ft. Realistically even if someone were to drop 100k into the house theres still a wide margine for profit. Not to mention with the vicinity to the local college could be converted to apartments and be even more profitable. Seller stated that other people have came and looked at it and hes heard a wide range of rehab estimates from 60k to 100k. Having known others have already checked out the property should I just go ahead and take a pass on this one? Or setup a appointment and do a walk through myself.
