Good times are when people are desperate to sell and there are deals to take advantage of.But I don't think 2020 is going to be the year

Update stuff at turnovers and then at the end when you go to dispose of it and sell it... remodel it to reflect current market trends.. or do it when the market is down and people are desperate for work...

In fact, it looks so good in the context of the current market, it also raises a few "if it quacks like a duck" flags: - a 50K house in Southern Ontario {where most things with windows and a door start at 200K} is either going to be in a rural area {making it more difficult to rent) or be in desperate disrepair ... or both.

I want to begin investing so I can get myself financial freedom but I desperately need support to get the initial capital to start fix & flipping houses.

They're great motivators and they use sales and marketing tactics for tapping into the hope and fear people who desperately want to 'alter their lives.'

But if you can sell cars successfully you can sell real estate.if you have 5 to 20k liquid to pay for marketing you can start.if you can go 30 60 90 days or longer with out getting paid you can startif you have a decent vehicle and afford gas you can start.if you know how to do an escrow that helpsjust much more too it.the negative you get is that many get desperate or it simply attracts the less than ethical folks because no license required and in some markets were they prey on the not so bright owners they can really abuse them... its a fine line for sure.. not to mention its illegal the way most do it in most states.. just because they don't get caught does not make it legal.assigning contracts OK.. makreitng a house you don't own on craigslist usually requires a licesneBut in my mind if your sharp enough to be a good wholesaler you can also be a good broker or anything else you choose to do.

I try not to show it until around the 10th because earlier you have the people who still have options and later you have the desperate people.  

He does it by finding sellers who are ignorant of the true market value, easily manipulated, gullible and/or desperate to sell to get out of a bad life situation. 

Once they know you (and know that you're a serious buyer), they'll let you know when they have a bank that's desperate to sell a property, they'll help push your offers through, and they may even tell you high you'll have to offer to win a property when competing against other investors.Also, once you know your market down-pat, you'll start to get a good idea of how much banks will accept for various types of properties in various conditions that have been on the market for various lengths of time.We average getting about 1 out of 5 offers accepted on REOs (we're very picky), and I know other investors who have even better ratios.

depends on how desperate this guy sounds. if not you can be nice.
