Wholesaling properties would require contracting these pre-foreclosures with the permission from the owner (homeowner retains ownership of the property until it is auctioned off), negotiating a purchase price directly with the bank (dependent upon liens) and then selling the contract you retained from the bank for the purchase of this property to another investor.You will require a network of investors as these banks give you a time frame to close on this property at the price you negotiate (thus losing a deal after working months to get would be a major disappointment).Experience in cost of construction is a plus; gives you better leverage when negotiating with the bank.Short sale negotiators would be a major plus as they understand exactly what the homeowner is required to fill out and provide.Most short sales tend to take 3-6 months to negotiate and contract.

She started to cry and plead with us that she's had her heart set on getting a puppy and has given it much thought, is going through an emotional time right now, would gladly pay extra rent or extra security deposit, would keep the dog in the garage and yard only if we wouldn't allow it in the house, is distraught because she and her husband (married just last May) decided not to expand their family at this time (she has a young daughter from a previous marriage), this was a disappointment and she needs the puppy for emotional support.

The judge has to follow the dictates of the law and some innocent people are probably going to end up being disappointed when it's over.In one post, the OP alluded to the marketing rah-rah that is often used to draw people into real estate investing.

I don't want to tell anyone not to pursue their goals, but i have seen cases where people start out and have unrealistic expectations, only to get disappointed and quit in a few months. 

Most of my deals came off market this year and I have a feeling until we have a correction that’s where I will be continuing to find the deals that work.Flip 5 properties and achieve 100k in profit through fix and flip.I’m disappointed in this one.

Fortunately, I've connected with a few people who specialize in fire damaged homes, so their specific advice will be helpful as we discuss this further.I agree that $400K is an unrealistic price that the owner is seeking, but there are a lot of people who think unrealistically about the current value of their home.I don't suppose that you'd be disappointed with a $100K potential profit on a flip if this were your deal, would you?

You mentioned low cap rates in a somewhat disappointing manner.

It must be a bit disappointing that both prospective tenants don't love your color choices, but you've already hinted that the current colors "are not for everybody", & it doesn't seem prudent to reduce the pool of interested renters by your wall color choice.

It's disappointing when you're told what to look for in a deal and you look and nothing meets the criteria.
