I'm looking into making an offer on a lovely use to be 4bd single family home, however, it's now a 3bd family house the owner actually made the room into an office but it still has a bathroom in the room. What they actually did was remove the closet and kept the bathroom so it's now a office with a bathroom. So before the change it use to be a 4bd (2 master rooms) because 2 of the rooms had bathrooms. So I'm really having a hard time (being that I'm new to wholesaling) assessing the value to this property. I've done some research and I pretty much been doing comps on 3bd instead of 4, is that right? can someone please help out. I'm really looking to make an offer the owner is waiting on my call.

Welcome to BP @Aida Rivera You can learn most of what you need to know here on BP. Check out the sticky posts at the top of the wholesaling forum and the wholesaling guide under the learn tab.

Wholesaling is simple but it s not easy and being successful in this business takes time. The more time you can put in the faster you will move ahead.

@Ned . Thank you so much for the welcome. And yes I know it's not easy at all and ugh Investors in my area are not so friendly either so yeah I've had my experiences already. I will definitely check out the wholesaling forum a.s.a.p.

I ended up waiting for the wholesaler's assistant to meet me at the house that same day and was able to walk through and check it out. It's been so long ago I don't even remember what the property was actually worth.

Oh o.k I see. lol well @ least you didn't get arrested. I guess we all have our stories.

The answer is all up to you! There are investors on the phone or in the field 20 hours a day, and there are completely passive investors. I think it depends on what your expectations are and how fast you want to achieve them.

Your right Mr.Eric absolutely agree I do spend several hrs daily in doing research or getting to know my market personally. You pretty much do get what you put in. Thanks for the welcome. Good to be here. Are you an Investor?

I'm sorry I see you're a wholesaler just noticed sorry just getting started.
