Hey BP, Another forum member posted this email I wrote the other day as a response to a question.

I was still paying the loan and keeping the insurance paid. one day a lady knocked on the door and said we had to move out because the property had been foreclosed on.

Similar to others I get on here a few times a day as time allows to reply to a few posts as it's a great feeling to help others become financially independent through real estate.

For the next few months he is still dating a girl that he has been seeing since we lived in the condo. she would be over maybe 1 day a week, and they would never bother me .Now here we are in 2019, he is dating a new girl who is over every single day, and they have both taken over the living room and the majority of the house.

The way we do it is as follows:1) Find and communicate with motivated seller (Most important and hardest step)2) If we can reach agreed upon price we sign a 30-day as-is cash contract with a 15-day inspection contingency3) At this point we will market deal to buyers list4) Usually within 2 weeks we will have a buyer willing to buy at our price (contracted price + wholesale fee).

The opportunity to upgrade/raise rents significantly and or one day a total redev might be something to consider in a deal like this or any property that is in the path of RE progress. 

I have been doing extensive research over the past months in the way of listening to a Podcast almost every day, as well as reading realestate investing books, going through these forums and lots of Googling.

I feel like the people I've talked to thus far do most of the renovation work themselves, but I haven't talked to enough people that contract the work out so they're not in the weeds on a day to day as much as I'd prefer not to be.

It's pretty easy to use and I keep it open all day as I have deals come through our pipeline to figure out what I want to buy it for, and what I can sell it to my investors for in order to meet ROI criteria.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TNfoOYJWE-A3DVtzav_V5oYWM_IQhUbsfZZ6U1W5vDE/edit#gid=0

Secondly, I try to read at least a blog per day, as well as listen to one podcast per week.
