I have an awesome VA specialized loan writer and realtor if you are wanting to bounce ideas off of them.

Thanks to Renee, Patrick, Bjork and Josh for attending today's lunch and learn.It feels amazing to be able to bounce ideas off each other and learn. 

You just need to mail more and to a larger list Caleb  if you read the NPN threads you will see them talking about the lack of product.the fact is markets cycle.. and many who did well wholesaling years ago in the bottom of the trough there just is not the inventory there to make it a viable strategy today.. not to mention how hard it is .In my mind this is a testament to real estate firming up and bouncing back.. no need to wholesale the house put it on MLS and get top dollar.of course you will always have your hoarder houses or weirdo's who are afraid of real estate agents..  

-Check the rents of the surrounding units to bounce off your proposed rents using the same websites. 

These were definitely rolling lates, bouncing anywhere from 30-90 but never going past that. 

The coastal biggies on the other hand bounced back many times faster to a point that they are out of reach for most investors now and that is driving the appeal of the tier 2 and tier 3 markets as potential investment opportunities.

You don't want to take a personal check and then find out a week later that it bounced.

PM me what you're thinking and maybe we can talk further just to help you bounce ideas!

A little about me: I’ve been researching REI for a few years now, bouncing between active member and lurker here on BP.

I'd like to find a CPA that has experience with small real estate investors to do my personal taxes and bounce ideas off of if we find a property to purchase.
