I've heard people say that they are planning to get the listing  agent  to cut the price because there's no buyer agent, but that happens a lot less frequently than you'd think.

After getting my real rehab numbers (including holding costs) and comps, I'm planning on running a title search, then making my offer, if he accepts I will contact a real estate lawyer at that point.I do have some worries about selling the property down the line, it's a small town so houses aren't sold frequently, and one of the neighboring properties has been abandoned for quite some time.  

I use a variety of avenues - Homeaway is just one of those.

"Steals" will be a lot less frequent or take a lot more energy, time, money and creativity to secure.All-in-all, if it is common enough, another one will come along so I wouldn't be too eager unless you have so much money that you need a lot of deals to put it all to work.

In theory you could have a master LLC that you member or manager manage that has ownership stake in a bunch of series, but has ownership with the series split for all the properties with a variety of investors.

I am sure there is a good work around and I am looking forward to ironing out the flaw in my thinking.In the traditional Fix 'n Flip model YOU are keeping close track of your project and the workers in some cases by periodic/frequent job site visits.

Business Cards frequently 'live' only long enough to get home and add to my contact manager.They are sorted and appropriately placed in the circular file under the desk :sigh:Amortize the $$$ over the life (never more than 24hrs) to evaluate the effectiveness.

Drop me an email and i can share my experience with a variety of lenders depending on what direction you are trying to go. 

The best wholesalers have a variety of places they source deals from.

Or how about business credit lines (which I prefer to use for a variety of reasons; see 10BillionCash.com for more details), where the Operator's profit would be about $11,635.Bottom line:  Always run your numbers.
