We are not opposed to some forced appreciation though if there are any good fixer-upper properties in the area! 

I'm a bodyworker (Rolf method of structural Integration), a fairly obscure method of healing the human body, but I love it and it is what brought me to Utah. 

 I am wondering if any body has advice on preforclosures in the state of Texas thinking of trying to wholesale or are preforclosures risky business for wholesaling?

To me a wholesaler should work distressed sellers if any body.  

REI is great, but hopefully there's someone left to care for our ailing bodies:)

Tony Silvas if it's only worth $75k and needs work then you can consider selling it as a fixer upper property for someone who wants a sweat equity property.

One of my leads is a fixer upper on a nice plot of land.

Here are the details: - 4 bedroom, 2 bath about 1700 sqft, built in 1883- Neighborhood: C I think, close-in 45503 if your familiar with the area- Duplex upper unit and a lower unit, each 2br 1ba - Current rent 300 upper and 400 lower (which is up from 200 and 250 in 2014), neighboring duplex gets 600 for a 3 bedroom but it's nicer- Expenses (prop management, lawn, bills, taxes... ) in 2016 so far $2200 and in 2015 $3200- Profit from 2015 was about $500 (had the upper vacant for most of the year), profit this year should be about $1,600- Appraiser $50,000 Zillow $58,000 Trulia $37,000 Estate $16,000- Bought in the 80's for $15,000Thoughts?

Its likely from all the standing water that it has started to rust out the duct work in the basement or grow mold inside it/throughout it (even on the upper level floors).Saw that recently on a property I looked at with 5 feet of water in the basement from when the sump pump backed up and overflowed (bank turned the electric off 3 years ago).

As well as creating ways to preserve the minds of humans to live on past our bodies.
