Same thing with revealing any of the numbers behind them)

One criteria where you are required to reveal is the reason is if it is based on credit.  

Removing wallpaper, painting, taking up carpet to reveal hardwood floors in good shape, updating lighting, door knobs, front doors, and landscaping are all good investments that pay back a great deal, and might not cost nearly as much as you think. 

@Bob Bowling, I realize that I am revealing my inexperience here, but I am curious what you mean: if not for cash flow, for what should we be investing?

Of course during the sale of the property, the owner said all tenants pay on time, etc. but he revealed at closing that one of the tenants had not paid for that month.As written in the lease she signed with the previous owner, there can be a late fee assessed for this late rent.

I took a deeper dive, and listened to may of the podcast episodes that Sean had put out, as well as the BP podcast episodes where the various methods of wholesalers were revealed in interview after interview.I found many similarities among what I'd read and heard on the podcasts:Direct Mail is a very popular way to goYou'll likely need to spend thousands in marketing dollars (most likely using yellow letters and postcards) to get the deals coming in to youOnce you get one deal, the rest snowballCommit to one marketing strategy, bandit signs may work but they tend to be the least favored here on BP (due to their "uglying up a neighborhood" and the fact that many times they are illegal and get removed)So I get the general gist of this but the questions I still have unanswered are:How does one know what is the right legal language to put on contracts?  

calling @Bradley Bogdan and @Marcia Maynard , our resident Section8 and HUD-VASH experts:a search on BP would also reveal quite a lot....

Nice work, congrats.I see a quick property search reveals it as a 2/1 yet it is listed everywhere as a 4/4.
