Little hassle and you make a few buck - go for it.If the deal is messy, not likely to close, will tie up your funds then you need a bigger reward for the risk.Some folks work a year in a job for $30K plus benefits.

It seems like a long and hard road but a very rewarding one too, and I want to do this full time eventually.

Or I could get good at staging myself and just relocate their furniture to show better.Still, with a risk/reward ratio of about 7, it is still looking good to me.

Note that not all lawyers will practice the type of law that could lead to a solid flow of business.If the rewards exceed the costs then it is work marketing to them.

I have done many deals that individually provided rewards greater than $4,000.

You'll have to come to terms with forgoing some of your profits---you'll need to quantify the rewards/risks for taking this approach.

The longer it takes and the more it costs the better they do.Consider a mixed model where they get a fair reward for on-time and on-budget but they get more for doing better than that.

I have repeat customers not because of my charm or because of my wit.

my friend doesn't have any money either, its just that he is willing to take the risk & the big reward on the rehabing side of the dealme i don't want to take the risk on the rehab side of it (especially on this property), i just want to get the property under contract to flip it to him for say 5-to-10 thousandnow the property i believe is'nt owned by a bank, its owned by some corporation which i'm having a hard time finding info on them and how they come to own this particular property, and why their willing to sell this property this cheap and etc (actually after some more digging i think the company is a lawyers office or something, because that is whats coming up as the owners of this property, so i don't know if it really is a bank behind this deal but their using this law firm to dispose of it for them or what)now i couldn't find the name of this corporation, but the address i got off the tax assessors record, i researched it and the building is nothing but a bunch of law firms and etcits just that all the stuff i've read on wholesaling nothing really stated anything about having to come up with that much money just to get a contract on a property and etc. i know what earnest money is but most of the stories i here is people using between 10-100 dollars or so just to tie a property up..............now is mine higher because of the real estate agents lack of trust or something

I welcome the help.I'll look forward to the rewards of being part of this community.Be blessed!!
