@Ned Carey hey ned good to hear from you again. I agree, there is a lot more to go into it. She did say that asbestos was not confirmed so that is a relief. 

I said heated by oil it is heated by wood

Thanks Chris! You're awesome. 

 Hi Angel,

The plan was def to take two people but that fell thru as my coach had to go out of town and I couldn't secure another person to go with me. 

 Hi there jay thanks for replying. There was a leak from the roof which was repaired recently per the owner. As for HVAC home is heated by wood so definitely need some work there, she did not report any electrical problems when I asked about them. The previous owner who is now deceased lived in the home until he died. Foundation is pretty stable expect for the back porch which needs a complete repair. Please also send me your info as I am looking to work with an investor friendly rehabbed for my but and holds. 

Thanks so much for replying. I was planning to offer no more than 50k. 

Hello,

I am pretty close to putting this house under contract for a wholesale deal but I am stuck with rehab costs. My coach won't be back in town until tomorrow but I wanted to keep the momentum going and make an offer adapter. Comps in the area are about 179k. This home needs a complete rehab and is heated by oil. Owner also mention that their was asbestos found in the ceiling of one bedroom. Any insight anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Owner was hoping that I could use last tax assessment which was 119k but that won't work...after I did my comps I requested them from a realtor and she provided almost identical info. The rehab costs are just the hold up. Home is 2br 1.5 bath. About 1280sqft.

@Sean Cole thanks for your input. I am doing my due diligence to ensure I am well educated in the area of wholesaling. I am able to check off just about everything you added here and for the ones I have not mastered yet like rehab costs I have partnered with others who have that skill. 

I can imagine there are some people out here attempting to wholesale without gaining proper knowledge. That will not be me. Lol! 

@Aaron Mazzrillo thanks for your input...I'm a social worker at heart so I probably think a lot differently than most investors. I think there are ways to build trust and credibility thru marketing too... I plan to continue with this approach for now as my campaign has picked up some serious momentum so something is working

@Tim Wilkinsongreat! thanks!
