Yes there is excitement about auctions but more importantly you have people with a very positive spin without taking into account risks.

I live in Southeastern Mass and my heads spinning as to whether or not to pick one of the above strategies for where i live or if i should look outside of my marketAnyones guidance/suggestions to help me get rolling would be greatly appreciated!

My plan has always been to do a standard cash out refinance on the ARV but am thinking of putting a spin on it.

@Ryan GriffinHi Ryan,It's obvious that they only earn enough to live "Paycheck to Paycheck", which is why they rent vs own.Paycheck to Paycheck renters can be suddenly short on money due to an unexpected (unaffordable expenses, car repair etc... or other personal issue such as a traffic ticket, missing work do to being sick or hurt, etc...).Some people will spin stories to string you along (because they have to--to avoid losing a place to live and further complicating their life's problems).So goes the rental business.Good Luck!

It can't hurt to check things out once in a while, but don't get stuck spinning your wheels on this.Also remember that wholesaling is a service you're providing to the seller (and ultimately to the buyer as well). 

When I analyze it line by line my head starts to spin ("Is that one too much?"

@Jaysen Medhurst, I've looked into so many areas that it's starting to make my head spin.
