I'm on a fair few wholesalers lists and only ever get the same properties I can buy off the MLS that they are spamming me.

Im not sure this is falling under Spam as I do not rep Google.

This realtor is saying the bank may consider full ask price but if not they will settle for a complete gamble by going to auction?

I do not smoke, gamble or drink so Las Vegas was not a preferred location.

Also dont forget about the A.c which has the life spam of 8-10years, water heater?

I've putzed around on craigslist but it's swamped with junk/spam, I'll have to look a bit harder, thanks!

If you buy in the right area.But just buying in "Spring, TX" is a bit of a gamble ....

DON”T listen to your friends that will be so concerned for you: “don’t you think you should keep working just until" …. ”Are you crazy, you had a great job”, “why would anyone want to deal with tenants, they don’t pay, the roof will leak, the water heater will go out – I’m shocked you would take such a gamble with your family”FEED off these people, just know when you hear these things you just put the gold medal around your neck!

The second time around he said he still hadn't received  it, and I asked him if it went to his spam folder, or click "all mail" in the event it was somewhere other than his primary inbox.

You don't want to gamble all your money away on your first flip and potentially lose it without an income stream.
