But, that slim portion of wholesalers who know what they're doing, deserve to be the middle man in my opinion.

@Steve Babiak you're welcome ... haha  right that would be hilarious if the city did try to get attorneys to take a training course to bid ... speaking of AOWs they're a big reason why I don't attend the foreclosure sale ... it's usually slim pickings because of the AOWs bidding on everything and if they don't bid usally the deep pocket investors are next in line to buy up any decent properties leftover.

margins are very slim which is frustrating.

If that's an equity return above the low teens after expenses, then it's slim pickings.

Talk to your smaller local banks, but the chances of cashing out additional money above your investment are slim for the first 6 months.

@Shawn Holsapple I definitely agree there are slim pickings on the MLS.

Your HUD idea is great in theory, but for some reason it is slim pickens in Oregon, especially the Portland metro counties. 

The chances of requiring that level of coverage are slim to none in real estate.

Even if they do strip everything, I'll be saving money on demo.Since the margins for Orange and Seminole have been slim I have been looking into different counties.  

They will have a judgement that they will have to pay, but the chances of you getting anything are slim.
