If you can't do it yourself, having someone within driving distance to receive packages, assemble, get the wifi set up, label remotes or light switches, make the kitchen functional, change out your door locks or put cameras up, etc, as well as the decorating and making the place comfortable and appealing for your guests is a must.

I really geeked out on this part, I had every foot of wire, every plumbing fitting, every drywall patch labeled and accounted for.

Though this post is now a couple of years old, I thought I'd add a link to an article that relates to being labeled as a "high risk" real estate investor when applying for a D&B account:http://activerain.trulia.com/blogsview/1630647/business-sic-codes--avoid-being-labeled-a-high-risk-

The game is simple: We have two ziploc bags, one is labeled 1-50 and the second one is labeled 51-100.

There are no tax benefits whether your account is labeled personal vs businessIdeally you want all your properties under their own llc.

What most of you are doing here on this thread, is finding the worst wholesalers, scammers and liars, and label THAT as "wholesaling" and then crapping on wholesaling assuming your own fabricated definition of wholesaling is true. 

Every investor wants/needs leads but white labeling other systems is not the idea I'm going for. 

I was thinking of While on the phone ask for what theyre asking for.. then mention "That I won't make any money at the range, I Need to be at (the offer price I cam up with + alittle more from that) and if he says "MAYBE" "PROBABLY" I can see from there hes really motivated and I can make an appointment from then..

Then i cam upon one that looked vacant.

However, it can prove fruitful for those investors that can take the heat of being labeled, plus there's decreased competition.
