Most of my screening comes from gumshoing social media, web court searches and following up on references.

I assume your lease has something about maintaining curb appeal / cleanliness of the property.

YUP I have bought a number of houses at court house steps were the owner said it will never go to sale as I have a buyer.. well buyer is wholesaler who has no money and they cant flip the contract and the poor owner loses their house no time to even file a BK and regroup.. wholesaling is a very sleazy business the way MOST folks do it.. thats why its starting to get attention from the states..

The appeal of a HomeVestors deal in Georgia to me is my familiarity of the area, and for what its worth, I get the experience and mangement of HomeVestors.

In most cases he tells you the obvious (stay out of bad high interest credit card debt) and he appeals to the masses in which permanent life insurance may not be a good solution (ie so term would be better for protection only).

What features have you found boost your rental appeal, especially in off-peak months?

If you tell the truth in court and say that long ago you were told he had left I think that may suffice.

The appeal of this deal lies in its low entry barrier and high potential return, made possible by your hands-on approach in sourcing and negotiating directly in the market.Financing the deal through both personal investment and banks offers a balanced leverage, while your approach to seeing potential in underappreciated properties maximizes value.

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.

It sounds like wholesaling could be appealing due to avoiding some of those costs, but the margin is slim between your total investment and the ARV.
