Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

Track record…I like that they’ve been in business for a while, but I’m not as comfortable with their history in industrial (maybe I didn’t dig deep enough).

I have also realized that I won't be able to find a property in my budget within a few hours of driving distance from where we live.

My company contracts out most of our maintenance- the people we write the most checks to are; handymen, landscapers and companies who perform drive by and mid lease inspections as well as process servers.

I don't have answers for all your questions but my opinion will be as long as you disclose to the sellers and they understand that they are selling their asset in a deep discount ( in your case $18500 vs $60K value) you are fine. 

    Since you mentioned Snoqualmie.....my only experience in the area was one of the most fun days of my life, at the Dirtfish rally car driving school.  

Things that drive the ARV the most - roof, plumbing, flooring, paintThings that don’t drive ARV as much - windows, landscaping, driveway

This app is almost liek dealmachine for driving for $'s and propstream mixed together.  

Ask and see if she is negotiable.Many sellers list property "as is" but then agree to adjust the price or make repairs.Many buyers offer to purchase "as is" but then ask for price reductions or repairs.Frankly, it drives me nuts.

What is the point of a wholesale course where they tell you to go drive for dollars, or knock on doors, or worse.. stalk MLS for "deals".Maybe I should sell a course on wholesaling!
