Also you have to remember most HML need to have a lien position at close and title insurance you get none of those at the courthouse steps auctions.If you have no personal capital it pretty tough getting started.. trying to scout deals for those with capital is one way to go.. working with a top producing RE agent can be fruitful as well.

Yes, both are fruit.

Hope you the best of success in this fruitful market.

i wasnt a BPer 2 months ago when i was having yard estate sales to clear out all the junk the estate had left on the property but anyways, long story short, i held a couple yard sales.on the 2nd consecutive weekend a browser asked me if i had a permit and i explained how i had just closed on the property and the estate/sellers had left junk behind so i thought what better an oppotunity to see if one's mans trash is another's treasure and so was just holding weekend yard sales till most the stuff is gone and was told i still need a permit so i contacted BOE who said to register online for a temp reseller permit# and i did and then the online system flagged my SSN. i called BOE and they gave me the # to my local BOE field office where i consequently called in and was told to fax my SSN card so i did then they called to say the number field on my ssn card is blank (obviously it is not) so i asked them what do they want, me to expand the image in the fax so i did make an enlargement photocopy and faxed that then they called back to say theres a known problem with their fax machine that is cutting off enlarged images so i actually have to go in person to BOE and show them my SSN card. when i went into the BOE there was a long line (picture DMV!)

I'm interested in lease option, rehab, wholesale, and building a rental portfolio.I'm looking for someone who has their business up and running like a well oiled machine.

Has anyone ever rehabbed or marketed their properties with low Voc paints, sustainably harvested wood or bamboo, cork or refurbished wood. energy saving appliances, air filters, fruit trees, water gardens, passive house.I'm thinking this is something I would like to do but of course it's all about economics and these green things usually cost more.

The deals exist, they just aren't low hanging fruit and it's hard(er) to pull them off if you do this part time. 

Within 2 months 5 other people move in, 3 sons and girlfriends with 2 of them, a dog and a washing machine. 

I'd love to get my hands on one of their machines that can cut a key off an image.

You can still find some low to mid hanging fruits.
