That you're sorry for deceiving them and wasting their time and you hope to actually have a property the next time you advertise one. 

 Kyle, I wouldn't suggest listening to Frank. It's great he posted his opinion, but unfortunately it's a very poor one. If you're just starting, posting ghost ads is an excellent way to find individuals that (should) have cash readily available to purchase real estate. I've done it before, and each interaction was very worthwhile for both the cash buyer and myself in the near future thereafter. While you probably shouldn't post the ads if you have no real intent of putting in the work afterwards of finding real properties to provide to them, it's still a great strategy, nonetheless. I'm glad you received some responses. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Having a sulky attitude will prove much more disadvantageous.

Property is located in Calhoun, GA; just north of Atlanta.

I can provide contacts for remote (out-of-state) buyers to the leading professionals in this area, as well as offer any assistance you need that I can help with personally.

This is a great investment property that I'll have under contract very soon (closing attorney is already writing up purchase agreement). I'm the only one with access to it; and that isn't just marketing hype, it's true.

PROPERTY INFO:

  • Bed: 4
  • Bath: 2.5
  • Square Footage: 2200
  • Exterior: Brick
  • Last Renovated: 2014
  • Rental Income: $940/mo (lease expires March 31, 2016)

PURCHASE & SALE INFO:

  • Price: $99,300
  • Value: $124,000 according to my own CMA. I have two local realtor CMA/BPOs putting the value at anywhere from $119,900-$133,000 which I can provide you with. These were their "sell quick" amounts, which I specifically asked for. I chose realtors that are controlling the Calhoun, GA area; these aren't just randoms with a license, so you can feel comfortable with the numbers they've provided.
  • Average Time on Market: 60-90 days for this area in this price range.
  • Approx. Holding Costs (if sold within 3-6 months): $442-$884
  • Rental Income (if sold within 3-6 months): $2,820-$5,640
  • Realtor Commission: $7,440 ($124,000 x 0.06%)

RECENT (2014) RENOVATION:

  • New HVAC unit, new appliances, new carpet, new roof (2011), newly remodeled bathrooms, new master bathroom.

I'll have the property under contract soon, likely within 7-10 days, and at this point can supply you with recent photographs (post-rehab) of the interior and exterior alike, as well as the address of the property itself. You're going to be profiting nicely from the rental income while you're selling this property, so there's no holding costs headaches. And yes, this could absolutely be an incredible cash flow property if you so choose.

At the end of the day, this is the kind of property investors are looking for every singe day, and I look forward to working with you on it. I'm giving the B.P. community first dibs before I blast it out to the world, so don't hesitate to get involved. Private message me now.

Thanks,

To touch on the specifics, these properties are located in Georgia.

Particularly northwest Georgia around Atlanta, within the following counties:

Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Chattooga, Gordon, Floyd, Bartow, Polk, Paulding and Cobb counties.

Properties currently on-hand at this time are located in Gordon and Chattooga county. The numbers are great, which is why I'm looking for a (hopefully permanent) lender to work with these houses on as quickly of a pace as possible.

Do not ignore or overlook these deals! Email for more information.

@Michael Noto

 I was going to let my location do the talking for me, but that's a good call; hadn't thought about the keyword feature. Thanks for that.

Colleagues,

I have investment properties readily available at steeply discounted prices. I'm currently seeking private/hard money lender(s) to work with on a one-time or full-time basis (preferably the latter).

Contact me without delay if you are a real player and are ready to see the numbers.
