Hi BP,My name is Chris and I have been lurking around the forums here for quite awhile now but never formally introduced myself so I thought I might as well do so today :-)I currently live in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ and I am interning for a successful wholesaler and plan to become a wholesaler as well.

I always made sure the rent was current when they left, and of course the deposit was never returned.I put everything in writing (e-mails, nothing too formal) stating that as long as they clean the house, and the rent is current, then I'm ok with them leaving.

Basically, just take a ruler and make a square around the offending hole making sure it stays inside the borders of the newly drawn square, then, cut a new scrap piece of drywall approximately 1" larger on all sides, then, with the paper side down, slice off the same 1" of the gypsum material ONLY thereby leaving the backing paper.

I'm used to S-11 (or S-1) documentation and formalized and structured private placements.

In several cases, the numbers looked good on paper, but once you jumped in and did more research, you realized that the ARVs being suggested by the wholesaler weren't accurate (house was in a flood zone or just over the border in a worse school district) or the rehab estimates provided by the wholesaler was off by just enough to make the deal less than appealing.

I do remember reading somewhere that REO agents sometimes have buyers lined up before the houses hit the mls, and the listing of the property is a mere formality in the foreclosure process.

-An offer - Either formal or informal depending on asking price.

Then in 2011 we bought a strip of land bordering our own residence, and it came with a house.

Establish a business plan with objectives and goals and formally sign the document with your kinfolk (notarized?).

So to me that means yes, I should as an investor do the work myself. http://postimg.org/image/7s4cj35kx/That is the current, not quite accurate floor plan.http://postimg.org/image/ugn2hk6d9/That was my first idea.I found a better way to open the kitchen, keep the formal dinning room, and the wall, saving structural issues, and TONS of money.New kitchen idea:http://postimg.org/image/fapgvsz7t/Not using the colors, but the open idea is what I think will help.Hope that helps
