Of course, there is nothing set in stone, but that seems to be most common. 

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions.Thank you for your advice.My thinking aligns with yours in that, at this stage, I lack the credibility and necessary funds.So, in the meantime, wholesaling seems like the right move for generating cash flow, familiarizing myself with the lingo, and expanding my network to build a list of buyers and potential partners.I've registered for a multifamily event next week and applied for membership in the young professional real estate group in my area.I do have one question, though, considering I'm at the beginning of my journey: What skills do you think I should develop to be useful? 

The larger sized postcards seem to have better esults for me. 

Buying the note before it goes to the auction would seem like a good way to get the property back for flip or rental, rather than being on the other side of the table as a bidder. 

Hi @Pat Leri I think those do seem like your best possible options.

Also Golden triangle guys investor group on Meetup, they meet at sertinos in the best buy parking lot. seems like a lot of people get their real estate license from champion

The moisture seems to be the biggest concern, would a contractor be able to know where that is coming from?

Seems like a risky plan and if there is that much upside on the rent why not just adjust the rent yourself (doesn't need to be immediately if you're that afraid of losing tenants, just do it a little more tactfully, maybe make some small improvements or give them some more time to make it more agreeable) and keep the property?

Or what seems crazy to me.Is it legal to create a 501c3 organization to buy investment properties and rent them out at fair market value?

At this point things do not seem contentious, and having a verbal dialog in person inside the rental unit might give you an idea of where you stand in getting your deposit back.What I mean is showing the pictures in person to the owner while the owner is standing in front of the place the picture was taken when you moved in well before you move out.Good Luck
