Zillow is aweful for nailing a good ARV.

Your problem wasn't that they were unmarried, the problem was he had good credit and she didn't.

I watched my parents flip houses since I was little and have always been on job sites or made "pocket money" by doing chores like painting fences or washing kitchen cabinets, which I realize now my parents were putting us to work to build that sweat equity.

Now, wash, rinse, repeat and do it again and again.AN EXAMPLE OF HOW A WHOLESALE DEAL WOULD GO(This example is based on one of my most recent wholesale deals)I found a deal.

Lol.What crossed my mind was he is making someone pay with the real intention to see if they would be a limited Partner in one of his deals.

- Lots of Equipment (R&D Facilities, Car Washes)- Gas Stations (100% 15 year properties)- Movable walls (self storage)You can find anywhere from 15-35% of the purchase price of a typical apartment complex is this type of property.More of it means less tax for you from higher depreciation amounts!

SFH, small multi, apartments, industrial, car washes, laundry mats, storage.   

(To borrow from a Commercial Real-Estate Term)It keeps our rents a wee-bit lower and thus makes our units easier to rent & more competitive for our rental-brokersAlso, since rents are lower, it's a win for our Tenants who get to pay less in rent.Obviously, our running property costs have gone way, way down.

The end result when it comes to depreciation is a wash.
