Consider arriving early if the auction allows potential buyers to walk through the home first.

I agree that is walking a very fine line with Fair Housing Laws.

It is a bonus for a buyer to walk into bookings after a purchase and give them some piece of mind that they are getting enough revenue to cover the first couple mortgage payment, but thats about it.

For instance, today, walking the project I noticed that we didn't address the washer values. 

My first year was filled with attending classes (I'm with Keller Williams, and they provide awesome free training to their agents), talking to people (in grocery stores, family, online chat rooms, etc), and listening to Bigger Pockets podcasts as I drove (alone) or walked my dog.Literally in year 3, I started getting repeat clients. 

Do a walk thru for physical6.  

For me, the biggest lessons that I have learned are from the couple of deals that made sense to me on paper but I ended up walking away from them. 

I was walking to my neighbor's house to pick up my kid today.

.- Walk the neighborhood and knock the doors, the conversion is greater but you have to be there.

I got a text message from Junior at CIX yesterday inquiring about my interests, so I called him back, asked how much the program actually cost, he said $297 & $37/month for the Dog Deal....I asked if it could be paid over time....No....OK....Today, Junior just called me back and offered me the same entire program....Really Flip for $197 until Friday midnight 8/24....Hmmmmm   I was seriously considering it until I started looking for reviews and came across this site...NO THANKS.....I've found more valuable information on this forum itself that I can check into...I already know and was working with a local investor and he doesn't use anyone's $$....offers the buyer a little earnest $$ and has him sign a 30/60 day contract to purchase the property & goes out in that time to locate a buyer & takes the seller & buyer to the closing and walks away with his part of the profits....Buyer and Seller never get to meet one another....Biggest problem is finding the good deals...there are signs on every street corner, "I Buy Houses"....
