Made the offer last night. Not sure where its going. They did not think it enough so we explained our offer and the market as we see it. We are only interested in a win - win so  I gave them my agents card if they decided to go that way. Learn more from this so it was still a win.

Thanks for the advise

The repairs are minor ones that I will do myself in a weekend. We can do a cash deal or financing is ready since we had another deal not close (another story I will share later).

We have been studying this market for a year now and should cash flow ok. I have noticed that there are not any houses this size for rent here. So looks like a hole that needs to be filled.

We will use your Idea's

Thanks for the help!! Just a little nervous on this one The market here is moving fast and we want it done tonight so we don't miss out on it.

We have a deal in front of us and we need a little advise. Some friends put us in touch with this deal and we want to help them and ourselves to a win / win

1100 s.f. house 3/1.5 in an ok neighborhood. Clean the carpets and its ready to rent. Very well keep little house. Newer Heat and air. New windows. Roof 10 years old. 

The owners are wanting to sell fast(leaving town) and do not have a Realtor yet. They have looked on Zillow and said it is worth 80,000. I show this house should sell per the comps in the area for about 73.000  and I am sure we can rent it for 850.00 a month. We want to buy and hold. it is only 4 blocks from our home. 

Offer is not been presented yet. Any advise? 

 Where to go next? We have bought at Auctions and with Real estate Agents but never from the owners. Do we need to get a lawyer to make a contract and them find a closing company? Should I get my agent in on this? Any advise will help.

Welcome Tyler

Right here in Broken Arrow. I am also a rookie with one house so far. I am only looking in BA for now. I think we both need to go to the local REIA.

If you see any deals in BA that you want to wholesale let me know.

I have been calling on references on our first Property and I get these other landlords that don't want to talk to me. They say to fax in a request.

Is this normal?

Anyone have examples they use?
