The house is worth around $1050 to $1100.I just fresh up paint every other renter gives or take.

I do not anticipate it will be all that bad, and we will mostly only eat the corpses of the freshly dead.

The leads are not as fresh, necessarily as the lists mentioned above, but you can do intersting things to "stack" lists to get people that are in pre-foreclosure *and* out of state *and* have a tax lien *and* are not listed on the MLS.

Turnkey insinuates that it's fully/freshly rehabbed, tenants in place and paying rent, and property management on standby to manage the property once you own it.

Lender C said I would not be able to close it with a fresh new LLC because that LLC wouldn’t have had any performance to show or tax returns to present during underwriting, and the way that most of her borrowers go is to close with their name first and within an hour of the closing, create the LLC with the help of an attorney and transfer title right away (not sure if this is even possible!).

Just make sure whoever you're buying your list from is providing you with a solid, fresh list because the best piece of DM is worthless if I goes to a bad list. 

Each state charges differently, but the couple I have checked were cheaper that the fees for starting a fresh LLC.

Sure, but at a lower conversion rate than when they first came in. (6 month old list vs fresh list) Contacting the seller when they are ready is something websites have a huge advantage over traditional "OLD" lists.

I have no experience with this... just passing it along.A quick search of the boards will uncover a number of other posts asking the same question as well.

I don't think fresh- baked brownies can cover this up.
