Hey BP.This is a serious question with no time for fun and games.The Bible says JESUS CHRIST is the only way to HEAVEN.I believe it.Sooner or later we will all die and stand before GOD.If you except and admit that when JESUS died on the cross,rose again the 3rd day,and put your faith and trust in HIM,HIM alone,you are going to HEAVEN,anythingelse is useless,if you can get to HEAVEN on your good deeds,why would HE had to die on the cross,this is not meant to be offensive,but i felt like i shoul tell you.Turn to JESUS, and HE will take you to HEAVEN JOHN 3 16 THANKS

If you find a good deal on reo listed with realtor,or,property realtor just starting to list,if you get a price thats good for you,how can you flip it to end buyer without them going to realtor and making their own offer,or even show the house without it leading to bidding war?Example,if I find a home I can get for $50000,home is worth $90000,and I think I could sell it for $65000,how do you keep your end buyer from going to agent and offering $55000,agent makes more,plus buyer saves money,THANKS

I AM NEEW IN REAL ESTATE,I WANT TO WHOLESALE AND HAVE FOUND WHAT I THINK IS A GOOD DEAL.ITS A $25000 PRICE,$25000 IN REPAIRS, ARV IS $75000.IM NOT SURE HOW MUCH MY FEE SHOULD BE, PLUS FOR SOME REASON THE SELLER DONT FEEL RIGHT ABOUT DOING A ASSINGMENT CONTRACT. HE JUSY WANTS TO DEAL WITH ONE PERSON SO IF HE GOES UNDER CONTRACT WITH ME HE WANTS TO SIGN THE DEED TO ME,SO, IT LOOKS LIKE I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE 2 CLOSINGS, WOULD THAT NOT CUT IN TO MY PROFIT?ALSO, I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND I REALLY NEED INVESTORS I CAN GO TO WHEN I FIND DEALS IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP SEND ME IN RIGHT DIRECTION.THANK YOU. NEED HELP FAST ON BOTH.AND, IF A HOME HAS A $100000,WHAT IS THE MOST I SHOULD OFFER TO WHOLESALE OR ASSING THE HOUSE OVER TO INVESTOR IF I WANT TO MAKE 10000. IS THAT A GOOD FEE ON THAT MUCH MONEY I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW MUCH MARGIN THERE HAS TO BE TO MAKE 5 TO $10000 A DEAL.

sorry for terrible typed comments in big hurry.I am new at all of this and really need some guidance.I found a home forsale,but the asking price is 980000. It appraised for 1,300,000 my question is should i try to find a buyer and give him the info and get a small fee for finding it ?Or,is there a way i can get the money from investor myself?I cant afford to make any payments on the home if i dont sale it very fast.So,can you find investors who will put up the money and wait until house is sold before you pay them back?AS you can see, Im lost and would like advice on the best way to go, I would like to make alot of money, but i also want to play it safe too.Or is this even a good deal?Thanks CS.
