This deal highlights the power of smart acquisitions and efficient execution, turning a swift profit with minimal investment.

We did a couple recent ones that were on market, fixed them up and got them to market after the remodel with a profit.

It is not a scam, but you will have a very hard time finding a deal that is worth working with them, and frankly you are going to have to find someone that does not understand at all what their property is worth and get them to accept a super lowball offer to make it worth it. even then their points and fees will eat up so much that getting the 10% down loan will have a much much higher profit margin. 

If there's a general/marginal rule of thumb that is used that I can do to start, that would be helpful.

We live in this area and it seemed like a great opportunity with the margins How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

It takes enough of your margin, which you don't have because you put so little down in this market.

What are the average margins like in areas you are familiar with.  

Regarding all of that work, is there anything you think could be automated that would either free up your time to close on deals faster or help you profit more on a deal?

Our analysis is ARV - Rehab estimate - Finance Costs - Holding Costs = Profit.  

My primary experience recently w/ Atlanta wholesalers has been mispriced properties due to the additional margin added.
