I would expect you can bet on pretty good appreciation in the next 5 years if your place has good bones.  

@Sylvia B. One

If the place has solid bones, mechanical s, and a decent interior  (even if needs updating later) I'd take the deal because it's a 3/2 which means your rental and resale buyer market is expanded, but again it all comes down to the 2 other variables. 

As a wholesaler, you don't want to be greedy, leave enough meat on the bone for your investor so he can pay you your fees and move on.  

Take a list and send half one letter and half a different one then track your results.FYI in MA it is $500 and $500/year after, then of course the other costs and obligations of having a company (Even if bare bones and poorly run:) ).  

Even before putting the numbers in the spreadsheet I have a good feeling about the properties and I am on the phone with my agent trying to schedule a viewing and put an offer.Step 5: Schedule In-Person Viewing: At this stage everything checks out and I am just making sure the property has good bones etc.

Home inspectors are often the ones that make retail deals blow up so they might through you a bone or two along the way if you cultivate the relationship.

We built our primary residence about 8 years ago for $500K...we did the bare bones, so we re-fi'ed several times making improvements over the 8 years, ending up with the 600K balance.2.

if i can get the suckiest house on the block for 20K below it's value, let's say 80K, and it assesses at 104K as is, and comps in that neighborhood are going for 124K - to me that's a deal, depending on the house's bones.
