Hello,
I've found several properties that I would like to buy that are delinquent tax properties. The problem...I don't have any money to purchase it. I would like to use the first one as a residential, and then flip others. How do I go about getting funding for these types of properties?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in Norfolk, VA.

:help: :help:

Thank you,
Tiese

Find the buyer - put it under contract - assign the contract - get paid at closing - repeat until you make enough money to buy and fix.

For those of you who brand your name/slogan in your target neighborhood - how can you track its effectiveness?

All marketing gurus are suggesting branding, but it is rather costly and probably not affordable for someone who is just starting out.
If you were to brand yourself, what would you brand - the name of the company (i.e. We Are Local Buyers Inc), headline (i.e. How to sell your house in this soft market even if you have no equity), website (i.e. www. YesWeCanBuyYourHouse.com) or slogan (We buy houses every day) ?
Or maybe a combination of several?

Please share :kewl:

Good point. How about those with lots of equity, pretty house and pending foreclosure?.. I don't think they'd call even if they're highly motivated. But again - perhaps it is my own perception :roll:

Looks like a sales pitch to me... and if it is, then this is in the wrong forum.

thanks, very interesting.
I guess I was trying to project how would I react to their ads if I needed to sell the house that is pretty.

I guess what I am trying to ask - does it make sense to customize the mass advertising? Homevestors advertise they are buying ugly houses - do you think majority of calls they get are the sellers of ugly houses?.....
Any Homevestors franchisees out there?...
