Uncle Tony says in Awaken the Giant Within: successful people ask better questions and as a result get better answers.

For the wholesalers, my area is absolutely FULL of those "I buy homes cash" signs, there's a giant building on my street advertising they buy ugly homes in cash.

As a wholesaler, you would never get an inspection with my REI, as that is provided only to offers submitted with POF and Load PreApproval letters PRECISELY to avoid every Tom, Dick and Harry from disturbing the tenants and wasting my time as well.Real data and inspections belong to real players, not speculators IMO.That's part of the game when you choose wholesaling.

Think from his perspective-- why would anyone sell a property that makes $2400/month.. for $80K... because they know giant bills are coming.. or maybe the city is demanding things get done, and don't want to pay them-- that's why.For your first investment property, unless you have access to around $40K to put into it, I wouldn't suggest it.      

Hi @Dick StevensI recently had a stone foundation repaired at my property.

I would suggest you do business with a small local bank that has just a few locations, and not one of the giant banks that don't care about you.. 

I can tell you that AZ looks very much like the same thing that happened just before the giant swoon.

But on the plus side, we were told that someone had spent about fifteen thousand dollars tuck pointing the giant front porch.

There are some commercial banks who will refinance entire portfolios (SFR and MFR) is one giant loan.

I would also recommend a Tony Robbins book, Awaken The Giant Within, Grant Cardone 10x and you can see any of their work on YouTube which is great.
