After 6 months of reading BP, going to meetups and REIAs, finding a super-sharp investor-friendly realtor, investigating money sources, etc., I made an offer on an MLS listed property that needs some rehabbing and ended up getting it under contract.

But, if anyone is "qualified" and interested in seeking such business (as you can be paid as approved by the court) you'll need to keep a sharp eye on your reputation and how it may effect other business as you may be lowering the hammer on peers and if they are not found guilty may have long memories.

Even if your agent is keeping a sharp eye out, you must realize, a lot of other people are looking there too.

I know Don is a sharp guy, but geeees, 99+%, something has to be wrong....

Many of the forms are for real estate licensee BUT with a little studying and sharp succors you can make your personal forms.

Robert Sharpe I didn't follow your math.

You couldn't turn a 1911 bungalow into a modern glass-filled, sharp-angled futuristic home as it wouldn't keep the natural look of the home or other homes in the area. 

@Archie Sharp.

I have a very sharp realtor run comps for me.

70% rule is so 2009   not relevant in todays market place in any market that has intense competition. there simply is not enough houses to feed all those that are taking class's on how to wholesale  read BP and want to wholesale and or how ever they decide they want to wholesale.. its dog eat dog out there.I find also if your competing against those that do a lot of their own work.. some of my best borrowers were contractors themselves.. if they could buy a property get their normal profit for all the work they did to the house plus a bonus.. great deal for them.. virtually impossible for investor to compete.. only thing that keeps investors in the game is so many contractors simply cant do deals for a number of reasons.. but the ones that are sharp they are killing it.
