How would you guys compare Columbus to somewhere like Memphis that has similar price points?

I’m glad you were able to move on without signing, shows the agent understands/is a good guy/gal, or knows other firms wouldn’t require such a signature. 

But the risk to the seller on this deal is immense you have a guy tying up a property who has no ability to close it and then sell it to whoever will give him money and that person could be nefarious get into title rip rents could give 2 craps about the sellers credit etc etc..

I've wanted to know some tips you guys have on wholesaling and starting young and what I should know before I start.Important question: How can I calculate or give an educated guess on a property's repair cost on zillow 

I'll be the bad guy for you

You could be "The" STR "guy" for American tourists.

I see so many investors still going the old route of the local cabinet guy.
