-If you're an investor how do you prefer to be approached by a new wholesaler? 

We negotiated the price down a bit from $350k to $340k and the construction company is committed to pay 2% of seller's paid costs as incentives if I use their preferred lender.

I do have experience with significant home renovation but for a personal residence, based on my experience with this I would prefer to buy a property built after 1970 if possible but not sure if that's realistic, the only deals I could seem to find from the MLS are very old houses which I know often brings more challenges with the renovation.Would appreciate any references or suggestions anyone has, so far I've only invested in rental properties that were already in good condition bought with a loan.

I looked up launch control, batch leads, and a couple of others.

I will soon graduate college with a degree in finance and accounting, I hold a PMP certification along with a few others and plan to work on my real estate license and maybe in the next couple years obtain a residential contactor license.

Would prefer somewhere within driving distance, which I think is doable.

I've been using RentRedi for a couple years and it's been great.
