Great stuff I never thought to ask a title company. 

I usually troll the tax assessors website but so does everybody and theirs mama.

If you don't mind me asking  @Account Closed, y farm listings?

Hey Bp, it's been some time but I had  simple question for you pros out there. 

Where is a good lace for someone to purchase a leads list and do you have any inside tips on what a "GOOD LIST" should consist of. 

I'm looking to start cold calling so I don't need a great list to start just a cost efficient one that I burn through a couple leads until I get the hang of it.

My interests are manly for commercial properties at the moment. 

If anyone has any insights I would greatly appreciate it.

I've already looked at listbuilder.com and the srds but I was wondering if anybody had any p with buying prequalified lists and how much is too much for leads?

thank you. 

Recently I found myself responding to a craigslist post of a real estate job that sounded too good to be true.  They offered education in real estate on wholesaling, flipping, buy n holds.

Basically, you would find deals for your team and send them up to a closer and recieve a commission. Also you could recieve comissions for recruiting students like a typical MLM. 

My question really is this really a thing, or should I turn tail and shun these people.

I am interested could I get more info

exactly its in fair haven heights are you familiar with the area. Its off of lennox on a one way headed towards quinipiac. I have it under contract im looking to wholesale. 

This property sits on a quite one-way street giving a small town feel in a bustling city. With a partially finished basement there is oppurtunity to add to the living space or possibly add a storage for extra income. Private off street parking is available and the largest yard in the neighborhood leaves added potential if you have the vision. An interior update is suggested, as the look is a bit out dated but both units are turnkey. Perfect investment with minor repairs and great cashflow potential. 

Actually the reason I choose to walk this path is because I voluteer at a restore and the owner we call the GREEN NATZI. She annoyingly agressive about her green crusade.

That being said, It is the right thiing to do and I'd like to find tenants who are looking to do the right thing. Maybe it'll help vet them and attract responsible tenants who will take care of their personal environment better.

Good morning BP,

Being that Im in CT and snowed in I figured I'd start up a discussion I've been pondering about lately. 

This is directed specifically to fix n flippers but really I'd like to hear all perspectives on this, money lenders and agents too. This subject is "GOING GREENER" when rehabbing a property. More specifically I'm interested in state programs that give you forgivable loans or tax credits when you focus on making your rehab "GREENER". 

In looking for loans for my first investment I've found a couple subsidies provided by my state to promote developers to build for  longevitey in a more environmentally conscience industry.

Some offered forgiveable loans after 5 years, and tax breaks for using items like; 

Windows, Insulation, Solar Panels, Light sensors, Time restricted irregation systems etc.

I feel like there are plenty of sellers looking to retire and exit the market that will be passing the baton to adults coming into this market who are looking to make a difference. You know those Prius drivers who carpool and collect trash on the weekends as a hobby.

I'm no different, I mean if I get a fix n flip I'd like to make it better to live in but also shrink its carbon foot print, but I don't know what kind of negativitey, if any comes from focusing a fixer upper into a GREEN house.  

My question to you BP, is have any of you used any such loans or subsidies when rehabing and if so what are the pros and cons in focusing your necessary rehab in going GREENER. Or do any of you lenders know of any programs dedicated to this.  

At the moment the numbers arent what is important to me, due diligence has yet to be done. I wanted to bring it up to the forums to see if I should try to capatalize on this oppurtunity from the relationship i have with the seller. 

The stand point I'm considering is from a quote I read in Ken Mcelroy book, "your first deal is done for the knowledge not for profit." That being said I won't leave money on the table. 

I brought it to her like this, what ever profit comes in shall be considered seed money for her daughter and myself future. I think what concerns me most is she partially brought  me the deal in disbelief that I can actually make money on this. To her its unrealistic, even tho I explained to her that even in the condition the house is in, it is still a profitable investment.
