Short sales (underwater property) are not wholesaling friendly, and a wholesaler is likely to just screw around the seller, wasting 3-4 months. 

(nor a first for that matter) Sometimes I feel like I am wasting my time looking at some of these tapes. 

Taking him to court is a waste of time for both of you.  

I was thinking like you because if no one buys the property they just go to waste and after so long, the city will come in and tear them down.

You may be wasting your time!

hey all,happened upon a very low-cost property that the owners have free and clear. they've been living in one side w their mother in the other unit for twenty some odd years now and are moving to a new house. they tried listing it for 40k originally, not even a single walk through. 30k, nearly the same thing. finally got someone interested in it for 28 but then pulled the deal (the listing agent did) because the buyer seemed shady. back on market now and i've been using the listing agent to look at duplex opportunities the last few weeks so he pitched it to me.checked it out, needs minimal repair (considering the price point it's at) and can pull 550-700 depending on what updates i choose to perform.the best part of it all is that she may be willing to do owner financing as there is currently only one offer on the table and it's 8k less than what she's wanting. all that to say: what are typical terms here?

The sale was canceled between 9 last night and 8 this morning...all that research and anticipation wasted...more sales coming though so hopefully find a good deal soon ! 

I'm afraid that spending $500 to get my license will be a waste of money because no one would make a deal with me.

Hello,I'm recently gotten a property under contract at $80,000 with an ARV of $110,000, it needs very minimal repairs (paint, carpet, etc.).  

Do the signs and mailers, but they will likely attract a high number of people looking to waste your time and want full retail for their property.
