Of course, I've never done such a thing before, except for one particularly close call dealing with an outfit that had since gone bust (thank god I didn't use their services to begin investing).

I worked for one of the bigger turn key outfits( co owned) Charlotte is like most markets there are good and bad areas.

Keep in mind your income on a property may cover the nut and you may be cash positive but if your Schedule E shows a loss on the properties those will be considered liabilities to a lender who calculates income (again another reason an outfit like mine exists).

why folks don't start with a license course always astounds me they can get paid to learn instead of paying to learn.. when I was funding 100 plus deals a year in Orlando for the big turn key out fit there.. the deals all came through a licensed wholesaler called Altura .. 

LA based investor ( most were or Bay ARea)  would get with turnkey out fit.2.

I charge a reasonable service rate of $70hr and like all other outfits mark up parts 50%-100%.

I have been operating as a franchisee of one of those home buying outfits for the last 2 years and quite frankly I'm unable to make the business model work right now.

Hi Michelle,It depends on the private lender you're going with some local outfits will not require appraisal as they have their internal metrics, they know the area, and may only do a drive by.

Hello allThe underwriter is who’ll make a decision and will never see you nor your outfit.

Walk into the Police Department and ask the Desk Sargent if you can file a crime complaint.There were roofing "outfits" that used to travel around Los Angles doing similar to this.PD cracked down on them.
