If it sucks for you, you can sell and be further ahead than you already are today.

I used to get calls from people that wanted to remodel their homes before selling them.

Things selling a little slower here lately 

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

No but keep track of those repairs as it will add to your cost basis when you go to sell it and have to pay capital gains.

Not if you buy the worst lot with the slowest selling model.

While I am normally in the do-not-sell camp, in this case it might just sell and buy at the new location.

However short contract period allows you to pursue other avenues to sell if the wholesaler can't execute on the terms they offered.

As well as utilizing them to market and sell your properties.

So we are familiar with the north GA, western NC area.My wife's aunt and uncle are selling their house in Franklin, NC.
