Do I have to add more criteria to limit the count or is there a way to pick a fraction of the count with my existing criteria?

Basically BP and other places are good places to connect and learn but at the end of the day you need to go and see a lots of properties before you get one in your hand (after putting an offer on a handful and ending up with one in your favor) this is not demotivating you but giving you the facts how properties with good value disappear from the market in a fraction of time. 

@Andrew Johnson Yes I have thought about cash reserve and the 30k I have to invest is only a fraction of my total inheritance.

To the same crowd ask for private investors for fractional ownership in multifamily units.  

It is as strong as a stick built home, lends the same way, but new construction can be done in less than 3 months compared to new construction at a fraction of the price. 

Fractionals - DSTs and TICs will be the 1031 compliant products that will shelter the tax. 

In Vermont, New Hampshire and Ohio, I now own several lawns with expenses I hadn't included.But I bought REO and municipal surplus auctions, paid cash and paid a fraction of the median average prices.

Of course, if there is no profit, which could simply be due to skillful accounting, you'll earn nothing.I don't know the terms of the 1st position loan, but you might suggest participating in it with a fractionalized interest if that lender is open to it.

Ron,To be clear, without intending to offend anyone; I personally do not believe there is a "right and legal way" to ethically wholesale real estate... without a license, and certainly not with a license.However, as with unlicensed property managers, the Ohio Division of Real Estate is reactive, not proactive in their enforcement; meaning that they only react when a complaint is filed.Like others have said, contract law allows people to assign a contract within the law... but that does not make it right to take a property from a widow for a fraction of its value when one is pretending to help her.Anyone who wants more info can PM me.

They at least go through all your situation while asking you a lot of questions to ensure that you are not missing out on any deductions, while charging you only a fraction.
