In that article, I briefly outline the major benefits (commissions, MLS Access, extra buyers, extra leads, and "pocket deals" that are unavailable to the general public) as well as the awarenesses you must possess (agency, disclosure, comparable values, as well as the use of State contracts and not those BS contracts Wholesalers typically use).If you are looking for the Internet's ONLY source of "Realtor® Specific" information with regards to Investing (particularly as it relates to Wholesaling) then you need to check out the blog at TenMinuteSkill and The Red Pill Investor Podcast. 

I had two properties that were going vacant at the same timeone was a dead beat tenant that I had to evict after she only paid two months rent.the other was on a house that I basically just put someone in to keep a person in the house to make sure it was occupied and wouldnt be vandalized.I have a dedicated contractor who will do good work for cheap but he was unavailable and i was cash poor. it looked like I may have had to just let the properties sit until I could come up with more money.then I got an idea rent the place as istake off the money I would have paid my contractor to do some of the work and get a handyman or licensed trade skill type guy.

I've had many subpar experiences, quite a few bad ones, and more than one where I abandoned the place upon seeing walking into it.I believe much of the reason I've had lousy experiences is (a) I was trying to keep costs very low for my employer or client, so I often stayed in places that were in the $100-$175 range, and (b) I was often booking at the last second, which meant the best of options were unavailable, and meant that my options were either poorly appointed, poorly managed, or new and inexperienced.
