Thanks @Philip Pape and @Justin Howe will do the reading and I've done mailers twice for absentee owners so will do for these. Appreciate your advice!

Hi BP I'm wanting to know if there's any podcast, guides in regard to wholesaling distressed properties? Would you use letters as well to contact these owners? Would appreciate any feedback if you know or have done distressed properties.

@Mitch Messer that makes a lot of sense...it sheds light on what I hadn't considered being fairly new @ this. Will have realtor to give me comparables. I have a few realtor acquaintances. Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge with me. Have a great day!!

@Mitch Messer The house is livable, move-ready. The owners will be back at end of this week for a week to do some minor, touch-up work inside and to hopefully get sold. I will see the inside then as I've seen outside already. I'm researching to find out fair market rent in the area and comparables (looked on Truila to get). I plan on asking them what the monthly mortgage. I'm going to wholesale as right now I don't have any desire to rent, buy hold. Do you know of another site can use to do comparables? Would like to do two on different sites. Thx for help.

BP, in driving around yesterday, I found an FSBO property. In contacting the owners, I've learned they're wanting to sell as they've retired and moving out-of-state. It's a 4BR, 1 1/2B, LR, Eat-in kitchen, converted garage house. They have done lots of work on the house (new doors inside, new carpeting, freshly painted, bathroom has had some updating). They'll be back the end of this week and I will get to see the inside and speak to them. I asked how much do they need to sell it for and they told me 130k. It doesn't have any liens, second mortgage or anything on it, but it does have a mortgage they said. It is less than 130k however, they did not tell me how much. I intend to find that out when I see them upon their return. If they don't get a sale when they come during the week, said they are going to list with an agent. I would like your feedback in if you think this is a deal and should I pursue for wholesaling? Thanks for your advice.
