He said it would be a waste of time going after any of these foreclosures/REOs if I cannot show money there within 2 days. 

I have been to see 2 different homes and they both have a mortgage on them which is higher than the 70%, so any offer that I give would be a loss to me and my buyer, and if the deal does not go through then it would be a waste of time for the seller also. 

With the limitations you have listed, you will be wasting your time trying it on your own knowing nothing about wholesaling other than what it is.

I want to use every method starting out but by no means would I want to waste my time doing a task that will not lead to any new business or calls from city officials.Thanks!

I've worked with a few wholesellers who tried working deals on the mls and it just ended up being a waste of time.

They should work to maintain a high level of tenant satisfaction and minimize turnover when possible.

Properties that need minimal repair (say, under 10k) tend to sell quickly if publicly listed at a bargain price.

I would not waste my time, I would move on and get something you know you can lock in.

Clearly my expenses for the wooden siding maintenance will be higher than brick as will need to repaint and touch up every 5 years or less, and the service for the window units will likely be less (especially since my lease states the tenants are responsible for them along with appliance repairs under $150 for that rental) along with them being cheap to replace and fairly serviceable.You have to look at each component of a given property and estimate the maintenance for it based on what you know, what you have seen as best practice here, ways you can minimize or avoid the expense, and based on quotes that you get from contractors as part of your diligence period.
