I grew up in SE Michigan, about 20 min from Toledo, so the NW Ohio area's pretty familiar to me.

I am not averse to procuring through wholesalers but will probably pay an agent to be my boots on the ground per se in any wholesale deal as I cannot pop out to wherever every week.      

Where are you located in SE Iowa?

Ya, timelines all get pushed out and often returns are lower, but not having a plan is planning to fail.For myself, I don't work directly in the real estate industry per se.

Problem with this is you don't have any money so this isn't a deal per se, for you, but once you get some money you should try to put together deals like this.Now, back to your problem; If the house sells at $125K, after he pays off the 1st, pays back the parents, and pays closing costs and commissions (8%?)

Palm Springs is known for being a luxury travel destination, but not every home is a “luxury home” per se.

BP is a great forum--some local Meetups are Brew City REI (which we help run), Milwaukee REIA, Apartment Association of SE WI.

If this was in NYC, I would have done a pro se case in court myself.

@Jack Gibson  not really calling you out per se..
