In that case, go strike up a conversation or two with some FSBOs.

What i want out of real estate is longterm assets as well as income now. and i willing to do whatever it takes to get there. i see wholesaling as my ticket to get my dream started and funded not necessarily to strike it rich quick. i understand that real estate investing isnt a hobby but a business. anywho, Thanks so much for responing to my post Mr. jon holdman

That means you can not have an option contract based on any future valuation, conditioned upon any future valuation.Next issue, the value of any option is the difference between the strike price or sale price agreed on the day the option is made and the difference of the future value of the asset being purchased.

Dont rush into any deal yet get the education in real estate 1st then strike.

Be on the look-out for your 'target seller' and strike up conversations.  

Strike up some conversations and see who you meet.As for having a Realtor, you might use them to help you find leads (although leads on the MLS are slim pickings these days), but you definitely want them when it's time to list your property after it's been rehabbed.I would also add a CPA to your dream team.

If they can't do it in that time, I step in and buy it for my strike price.  

Before doing that, you may want to seek out an active builder... and strike a deal.

You can usually call an appraiser and strike up a conversation and simply what vacancy runs for types of properties in the area.

Your charges don't strike me as unreasonable.
