My father in law has gotten out of the 9-5 and is back to working for himself again. His experience is over 20 years in construction, here in Georgia, with the last 8 in commercial construction. Contact me for further details. 

@Kelly Claiborne As of today, the only thing stopping me is money. Everything else can be sacrificed but not paying bills or putting food on the table. I don't go by " buying real estate with no money down" because regardless of whatever anyone can tell me, you need some cash reserves. I challenge anyone to change my mind on it.....

Thanks for all the input. I am not a part (NAR) of anything just yet. I do see this as a flip and not a buy/hold. I will be meeting with her later today and will get more info on the property.

I have a client who just sold her business and the office/house she worked out of is in bad shape.  It is in a up and coming area that has " beautification" going on around the neighborhood. The home is valued under the tax assessment county site for $125k, homes selling for $225-275k and I know it needs repairs both in and out. This might be my " pocket listing" but will the Tax assessor info a good source to go by as far as the value of the home? Or will it make sense to get it under contract and " wholesale " it?

@Logan Guy, I have a wholesaler who might be able to help you with any questions you may have. If you're interested, PM me and I'll connect you with him.

@Michael Crawford As a former pest control tech, treating fleas is nearly impossible if the pet owners do not cooperate. Complete treatment of the entire building has to occur in order to get it under control. Treatment of the outside HAS to be done as well. The pets have to go under flea treatment, if not it won't go away! Our landlords who contracted me would charge the tenant the flea treatment if they did not cooperate but it was within their lease agreement. Its similar to German roaches and bed bugs( the latter being the worst) in a sense that everyone in the building has to allow for you to treat inside their homes. Bedding , furniture, and clothing have to be either thrown away or treated as well. The legal side of things aren't in my wheelhouse, sry. You can treat the home yourself given you have access to a "do-it-yourself pest control" store that sells the same products we used as professionals. Hope this helps

What if your willing to trade your skill set and do all the leg work in exchange for less percentage back with little or no money down? The deals land on my lap and I also drive for dollars as well. 

@Joanne Eriaku Yes it has been analyzed by both the wholesaler and I've done my due diligence on everything he sends. This would be my first time doing anything with real estate. I have been analyzing properties for years now. I do not have all the financial backing a typical investor would come to the table with. I tried partnering with a couple of investors but could not find their " sweet spot". Now getting back into the swing of things , looking for the right partner has become more difficult these days.

Its been awhile since I even thought about getting back into anything to do with real estate due to family health issues and now Covid. During the past 6 months, I have received leads from a wholesaler who I still keep in contact with. I get leads from him, looks good, and I would love to get this train rolling again. I worked with a potential partner before on some leads but they were very specific on what they would invest which is understandable. How to match myself with the right person to work alongside with the leads I get? Where to start.....?

I would like to attend this evening !
