None of the methods you purposed are bad, just gotta commit and run it for 5-10 years at a time.

The cure the various regulatory authorities have come up with is twofold, legislation that restricts the methods wholesalers may use, and regulations requiring wholesalers to hold real estate brokers license.  

.- Evaluate all major systems (mechanical, electrical, roof, plumbing, foundation, etc).

If you are interested in finding off market properties I can show you a few of my methods. 

I'd love any and all recommendations on subs across: electrical, plumbing, tile, demo, framing/drywall, fireplace/ chimney experts Please also let me know if you have any recommendations on housekeeping or airbnb management. 

Engage professionals to inspect major components such as the roof, plumbing (including sewer lines), foundation, drainage, electrical systems, HVAC, chillers, boilers, termites, exterior walls, balconies, stairs, rails, and concrete.

I just won my first tax sale property and if all goes well (AKA the judge reviews the property and approves everything) I will likely go down the tax sale rabbithole as the property I bought was pennies on the dollar (hopefully noone broke in and stole the copper plumbing lol)

They work great, can be one of the most cost effective lead-gen methods out there when done right.

@Ronit Lodd as a tax professional, I’ve seen people use all types of methods.

Essentially still making the Brrrr method work with this type of loan?
