Some buyers are scared of these type of houses no matter what you do; some want to see the extent of the damage via "before" pictures and what was done to correct the issue, with description from the remediation company accompanied by a certificate with the "after" pictures.

As an investor with a couple strategic bird dogs, I pay more for more information.  

Hello @Adam Bird,Welcome to BP!

Chris, I'm looking to get a minimum of 5,000 on my wholesale deals, do you think buyers would be willing to pay that for a bird dog?

In Portland we have a local meetup that cost money its called Rare bird... now the guys running it are in the business and they are smart they charge but they also bring in good content ( I know they had me as a guest speaker :)  ))But even better is they get spoon fed deals with all the folks that are members ..

So far my understanding is that in Missouri it might be beneficial to use a purchase option contract, especially if I am looking to make money by "bird dogging" for a buyer -- through transferring the purchase option right.

Tedious and time consuming no doubt. how many pieces of x, what size, type,]other materials that need to accompany those materials, quantity discounts?

Howz it Ralph I'm your everyday local bird dogger/Investor in salt lake city hitting those ice filled streets currently for cash all across the Utah valley. :)I'm always looking for another buyer to add to the list so if your interested lmk. 

I agreed to lock-in the price and sign the contract now because it's bird-in-hand.While the buyer is renting my house which they will be buying, they are finding things wrong with it -- carpet is heavily stained and worn (it is, my last tenants were awful), there's dings in the drywall (again, bad previous tenants), the mirrors and light fixtures are rusting (Hawaii is humid, things rust fast), and there's bugs, possibly termites.What, if any of this, am I responsible for?
