I imagine it's not a problem when you are established, but I imagine there could be some reluctance in people giving all that personal information to you right off the bat.Not that I'm not trustworthy, but my reputation is as a technologist, not real estate investor.Also, do you have any suggestions on finding a decent lawyer in the area?

The new requirements are:The buyer is prohibited from selling the property for any sales price for a period of 30 days from the date of the deed.After a 30 day period, and until 90 days from the date of the deed the buyer is further prohibited from selling the property for a sales price greater than 120% of the short sale price.The above restrictions will run with the land and are not personal to the grantee.Can anyone confirm this and/or possibly have a link to a reputable source?

@ David A A couple of things that may need attention, I know they did in my part of Florida. 1) Permits: We contracted with a "reputable" architect for a hair salon family business.

If anyone is looking for a IRA servicer that is reputable, competent and easy to work with, I would recommend First Trust of Onaga (www.ftconaga.com).

My first 8-10 deals I intend to spend A LOT of time reviewing possible property's to ensure that I'm doing everything correct and so I can begin to grow the best reputation possible with my investors.

I think that generating my reputation through wholesaling will set me up for rehab flipping down the road.

You can get an appraisal for the finished unit, use a bridge loan and or construction-rehab loan based off the ARV.So, check conventional and non-conventional, private/hard money lenders.Get credit from material suppliers, use thier money!

I also upgraded the windows to energy efficient windows and had to find a new window supplier after mine unexpectedly closed up shop a couple weeks before the job.

My goal is to build a track record/reputation so A: deals come in quicker and more consistently, and B: It exposes me to great opportunities to fix and flip on the sideline of the wholesale business.

I tried VERY hard to close any option as that's your reputation on the line. 2.
