I have a store online where we sell women’s clothing and it make some nice side money that will help build a bigger rental portfolio but I am at a cross roads now where we really need a method of buying in bulk and at deeper discounts than clearance racks.I have been told to look into off price auctions and fashion trade shows but there are a lot of different sites that come up so it is hard to tell what is legit and good or not.What I am hoping to find is a way to either buy/bid online or shows/auctions I can travel to and make bids on "lots" of clothing.We sell mid-range and high end brands now so trying to avoid no name crap stuff you might find at the dollar general :) we need stuff like what they would sell in a Dillard’s, Macy's, Bells etc.If anyone has advice to share PLEASE PLEASE do so or PM me.

I don't know how to swing a hammer.

However, the "swings" in property values are +/-20% compared to much more massive swings here in California.  

The pendulum keeps swinging.  

Be sure to spend a lot of time upfront lining up your GC/trades, they can be challenging in the mountains and many front range guys won't make the trip.

Hi Alex,Sorry for my late reply but I was traveling to Belgium that day.I am here like you to meet people in the industry especially based in Barcelona.My expertise/job is  trading/negociation rather than RE.

For that matter, if you can swing it, I would simply ask for a discount on the price by the amount of the work and do it after closing.I will say we had a flood and had four feet of water in our basement. 

My advice would get into the building trades and go through an apprenticeship.
