Vacant properties are not my cup of tea you don't have to pay for any future numbers.

If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, I would sell the property.

If short sales and REOs are your cup of tea, by all means dig in.

Like I said the property is ready to move into and it just needs sweat equity and some updating.Here's an example.The property I bought for $30,000 needed some updating like new painting on the side of the house, light fixtures, landscaping and a few other minor problems.

If each unit has a washer/dryer connection, they could be doing laundry for their entire extended family and friends.You then need to have someone perform an audit of the fixtures.

However, if, as a wholesaler, you can provide real value in this area to your buyers, you will stand out above the rest... and gain a huge advantage.My student, in Jax, of all places, actually went to Home Depot and priced out stuff like counter tops, flooring, paint, appliances, fixtures, etc, etc and created a spreadsheet in excel.

Find someone in your area and buy them a cup of coffee, or go toyour nearest real estate investment club and pick their brain.

We’ve been trying to change this trend for years, but the society at large has decided that shoes, clothes, big-screen tv, big house, and a $4 dollar cup of coffee every morning is more important…Sad, but true

I'm a Washington State native and am looking to invest in the Seattle area.When you get back here, we should grab a cup of coffee and go look at some properties!

I just thought that even if she did pay for the furnace, it's a fixture that should not be allowed to be removed.
