Assume for a moment you have a local team able to handle 100+ homes a year and have a few hundred homes under your belt.I have 20 days to find a cost effective solution......I'm thinking I should partner as these assets are spread amongst 26 states with about half in the SE of the country (where I have ample experience and resources).

I am not a DIY kind of person and Pro Se is not a strategy I have an appetite for.

I don't particularly think the breed is bad, per se, but my insurance company told me they'd drop me if he moved in.

There is a very nice group of SE Michigan investors on here, and I work on the West side of the state (Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo).If anything, I would check references like crazy. 

I was not planning on telling the seller that I was looking to wholesale per se, but rather I'd be thinking about either flipping it personally, finding a flipper or some sort of partnership.

Though it's not a big project per se, and seems pretty simple and straightforward for someone with experience, for someone with no experience, if you miss something, it could end up costing you a lot of your profit. 

I am I military brat, so I don't really have a place to call home per se. 

The rental agreement flows with the property unless it is very awkwardly written.All this said, any form of deed will in general work for you per se.  

Account Closed SE Michigan...specifically Wayne County.  

My thinking in all of this is that it would be easier to get a stronger commitment and less "corner cutting" per se if the sub knew they were going to be steadily compensated and did not feel the need to nickle and dime me here and there.
