And also noticed today my escrow (by way of tax bump), has increased nearly $2k.

@Amyson Varughese have you served them with 14-day Notice to Pay or Vacate in accordance with RCW 59.18.057?

The end of the 30-day notice is soon coming to an end.

Currently doing probates, D4D, tax delinquents, and absentee owners but starting to notice some of these are heavily saturated with other callers. 

One of the first things I noticed is that most of the people there have little if any experience or understanding of what real estate investors do.

Have you noticed that?

If anything, you need a course on LEAD GENERATION.You can buy the fanciest course with the latest wholesaling strategies, and then they will tell you to cold call a foreclosure list.They are teaching you to find the wrong audience.Please, stay away from the gurus and those who tell you to listen to the gurus.All these gurus can't come CLOSE to how a REAL wholesaler gets their deals.First off...None of you have noticed that she said "looking for distressed properties."

For short term bridge loans with rehab, if the area is a lender preferred area (you learn these areas by doing lots of deals and noticing in what situations the lender offers their max terms), and your credit is good, and the spread is above average then 90% of the purchase price is possible, so you only come with 10%.But I can already tell what you are after I feel, are you trying to find out how cheaply you can be into a deal for? 

I noticed that since we listed the house on October 2nd, rates have gone up over 0.5%...so maybe a lot of people are waiting to see if they come back down again?

If you notice a lot of the responses in this forum is from all over the country.
