As for the land banks I can see the the bid amount on the county website.

I check through my bank.

Banks will not use the income from the Illegal unit

Sure, there are going to be people who fail but if you truly try and make your best effort and do your own due diligence by evaluating these properties, inspection, ARV, etc. and really learning the strategy of both BRRR and turnkey fix and flip, it will work.You need to build a strong and trustworthy team on the ground.People nowadays quit the second something gets hard.

My current one is not working out.Sincerely Lizz How is yours failing you?

A “prequalification Letter” is garbage. ......no tax returns, W-2, pay stubs, bank account info required. 

Hey Diane, Since you're targeting properties under $75K, consider local credit unions or community banks, as they may offer more flexible loan options for smaller amounts.

It cost $200 for all the documents, tax ID, forms necessary for opening the bank account, and a year of support.

You can request counties to re-auction parcels that failed to get any bids.
