I scour for MLS listings each day to see if any good opportunities pop up and I'm also slowly training my mother and sister to drive for dollars.

Figure out where you'd want your new prop and start scouring MLS - get some possible options locked and loaded early so you know you can hit that 45 day identification deadline (that's usually the hardest one).

I scoured the web for an in-depth review of Memphis Invest, or any other Turn-Key Rental company, but was never satisfied with the responses.

I am scouring the Freddie Mac guidelines, and I can only think of three possibilities right now, two of which make the deal happen, one of which would take a while if the seller is willing to wait and IF the numbers work. 1.

I've only recently started scouring the forums as well which is packed full of information as well.

In my experience, many otherwise good title searchers often mess this up because they are not always used to scouring every page of these plans to check for references. 

it works.. you put up 2500.00 deposit to bid.. if you are the successful bidder EM is usually 3 to 10k per property.. then its a normal escrow.although sales are as is.. so make sure before you put up your EM and bid deposit that your sure you want to buy it.I would say 95%of the deals are pretty much retail.. and about 5% are decent deals .. so you really have to watch it and scour the site to make a decent score.

What you need to do to become successful in either industry is search, scour & hunt for people who want to sell their home.

It's not reasonable to have to scour a 50+ page appraisal for a small difference.

Because the way a good turnkey company makes money isn't by tacking on a premium, it's by capitalizing on economies of scale in the rehab process, having the networks to get distressed properties at great prices, and having their own wholesaling operations that scour the market for those opportunities to cut down on commission costs.
