@Kris L.I would connect with @Josh Green, I would not be surprised if he dealt with a transaction in your neighborhood and he is a local expert on all fronts.

Ft)For ARV, it is best to have an experienced real estate agent find comps for you to determine a safe number to work off of. 

Just know that it is a "no days off" kind of business and very mechanical.I would suggest documenting your process via video so that eventually you can bring people on to replace the different hats you will be wearing.Keep in mind of these 5 components of any wholesale business.lead generation, deal sourcing, underwriting, marketing, transaction coordination.

Be safe. 

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

An investor who has participated in a subject to transaction without lender approval should NOT assume that they are safe from note being accelerated because a certain amount of time has passed.  

I’ve already put down a $2,000 earnest deposit and paid for the inspection and appraisal.This event is unprecedented in the area, as the area is typically low in violence and considered very safe.

.🔹 Partnering with Trusted Local Experts – Engaging experienced and reliable builders, architects, contractors, and surveyors is essential for a safe, efficient, and successful rebuilding process.Recovery isn’t just about getting back to where you were—it’s about creating something better.

So my conclusion is if you have Means  to transact this is probably just as good as any of the masterminds out there.. but if you are thinking by joining its going to bring you investors to help with deals.. not sure about that.

Be a long-term investor focusing on controlling as many assets as possible most safely.
