I am expecting a pretty soft market by late Fall this year and probably for the next year with the election circus that's about to happen.As @Bobby Sharma said, if you are looking at wholesale properties, you will have to ensure that you do your due diligence and verify every number.

And I'm no superman, I'm soft & flabby around the edges :D .

Soft credit pulls and closing in the LLC should leave no trace of the transaction on your credit/DTI.

Hey @Jacob Brush! 

Before a project even gets off the ground you're going to have a ton of "soft" costs including environmental consultants like me. 

Soft is considered as 0-3 grains of hardness.

Calculate the Max Offer Price, to ensure you get all your Inital investment $ out:ARV X 70% = Maximum amt Refinance lender will Loan you.MAX Offer Price = Max Loan amt - Rehab Costs - Soft Costs.Soft Costs = Closing costs + Holding costsIf you offer more than MOP, you will inevitably leave some of your inital money in the deal & not fully cash them out during the Refi process.2.

Just keep softly hitting them a few times a year; phone call or letter etc.

I wonder if better deals might be available down the road a bit, assuming we hit an inevitable "soft patch" in the economy.

It's located in central California which has a soft market.
