Not to mention you can save yourself atleast half of the commission on every transaction.

Sounds like it could be up your alley.https://www.wellsfargo.com/mortgage/buy/loans/descriptions/renovation203k is a good option as you mentioned not sure what type of issue you'd have with your contractor not pulling permits.

I postponed everything until Monday because the legal description of the property was too vague and did not specifically mention that I am purchasing two lots.

I also forgot to mention, after eight years of sitting vacant I doubt they have a valid operating permit for it, that further justifies the lower offering price.

Your best prospects to target are Pre-foreclosure, Expired Listings, Probate, Bankruptcy, Landlords just to mention a few.It all comes down to your goals and how many properties you're looking to buy.Like in any business big or small if no one knows what you do you'll never make any money.Whatever you dicide to do to market yourself and your business make sure you don't market yourself to look like everyone else.

I seen several REO listings mention free appraisal and such if you use the REO bank.

I also do reo online auctions.As you mentioned, it is always good advice to have a mentor with experience in the area you are interested in pursuing.Regards,

I had never heard of this however the tenant now that wants to do the option mentioned this.

I found no mention of it at the Roop Doran site.

It really is quite cheap, well under the $100/year Ryan mentions.
