Saying "it's always with me, so I don't bother with a security code" is equivalent to saying "I don't have a PIN number on my ATM card, its always with me."

Your approach is too difficult and it is like trying to play cards in the dark, There are a lot more ways to invest using lease options then spending so much time researching properties that may not work.I would recommend sending emails to sellers and advertising as the are many free ways to advertise for sellers, don't spend a lot of time thinking about the property as there will be plenty of time to do the math after you have a potential seller who is interested in a lease option.

I realize most investors can't swing this but even a charge card could help at 10K that could betapped for small investors, seller seconds and misc. deals.Guess what I'm saying is that being able to do what you say you will do is paramont.

Make a web sight, some business cards, that makes it reputable. 3) Form your investment property as an LLC, because you can choose your taxation, and move it to an S-corp very easily if you later choose to, but you will have a hell of a time changing a S-corp into anything else. 4) Lend the funds from XYZ lending too XYZ properties, this mitigates all losses, creates returns, etc..

In all my years living here i don't ever recall seeing bandit signs, flyers, business cards, listings in the personals or anything wholesale related.

I'm sure you've signed those credit card machines at grocery stores and had it look nothing like your signature.

If the sellers had other options on the table for more money, I would have advised them to take it or I would have raised my offer.)I hope this helps a little, good luck!!
