A few minutes after I pressed ‘post’ I realized I could have worded my question better to get a more accurate response...If I am “driving for dollars”, as a wholesaler and see a property that could have a healthy ARV, what do I do next?

Partly, I'm begging for a GC to "come out of the woodwork" and prove me wrong : ]In a market as good as Atlanta, I'm assuming all the quality residential GCs either (1) invest heavily in advertising and their websites to attract retail clients at healthy margins or (2) they are tightly partnered with property managers and investors and they aren't hungry for newbies to show the ropes and grow with.  

I don't want the properties to depreciate, but I also want a healthy cash flow. 

This is but a few of the major things we look at to be sure we are providing our investors with a solid investment that brings healthy returns.I would recommend starting local if you're just starting out.

People complain about Illinois and there’s plenty to complain about, but rents are pretty healthy.  

Assignments, MBS, etc Check how that market is doing, if it is healthy or is showing signs of trouble.Prior to the 2008 real estate crises banks were very active on that domain, and I particularly recall Deutsche Bank selling pools of motgages, and doing securitizations all the time.. they got rid of as much loans as they could and then the bubble bursted. 

Well long story short,  the seller got wind of his master plot to rid the property of the healthy vegetables and refused to speak to the buyers agent.  

Some level of inflation is necessary in a healthy economy. 

PPC ExperimentMy goal this year is to achieve healthy deal-flow via heavy investments in scalable marketing funnels in order to acquire some residential properties in Metro Atlanta. 

We’re also focusing on essential maintenance orders only, which helps keep our staff healthy (since they don’t enter apartments for nonessential work) and reduce costs.
