The more money you have to work with the quicker you can make things happen also.

I dont know about their other services but as far as alerts they seem to get listings much quicker than the other sites and I am almost positive you can set them up by zip code.I think you will like it better than the sites you mentioned, give it a try let us know what you think

We collectively refer to it as "a finders fee".Small chunks of cash (10k, 8k, 5k, 2.5k) but they add up and its a much quicker payday and so much less riskier than rehabbing.I am seriously considering getting a RE license because I leave a lot of money on the table when people call me with pretty houses and I can't list them but not having a license does not at all impede my ability to make money via wholesaling.

The less expenses you have the quicker you can accomplish your goal of quitting your job.

@David Krulac I will be buying with cash to make the transaction quicker, then once I have a tennant in the property (tennant/buyer) then I will get conventional financing through my bank and cash out.  

I agree with the others, that you will miss out on the majority of buyers, and it will sell much quicker if you list it with an agent.

I think if I paint it I will get a quicker sale (probably within the first 2 weeks) but I am already $1500 over budget on this project and if I paint the siding I will be $3500 over budget.

So, a quicker sale with lower margins is often better than a longer hold period with higher margins.Btw, if you don't make a cash sale, I don't know any reliable way you'll be able to sell anywhere near market value to an FHA or conventionally financed buyer.

That doesn't mean that you can't look around and research potential properties, but having that pre-qualification or pre-approval allows you to move quicker on a good deal when you find it.

I just loaded up on oops paint and rollers for next tenant refresh, but saw the electric painters may be quicker.
