I believe the difference is that in Texas you are allowed access and possession during the redemption period and therefore can somewhat control the condition of the property during the redemption period which is a positive for the underwriters.

It does happen but it's difficult because so much of the map is controlled by HOAs.  

I believe in "control everything, own nothing" so basically I want to have the least amount possible into my investments, I want to carry a mortgage for a long time because the COC is higher and having money sitting dead in your property is not making money.

Ready for new venture to become a real estate investor.

I am numbers oriented businessman who is always investigating different business ideas and ventures.

There are certain markets don't have great wholesaling opportunities-The margins may not be there-There may not be enough cash buyers is buying in the area-it may be a war zone@Devon GarbusIt's my humble opinion not to specialize in Wholesaling when you get startedInstead you should be a problem solver looking to be able to help people solve problemsLow equity deals that are pretty houses in good neighborhoods with good schools are easier than wholesaling Minor rehabs offer a possible joint venture with the sellerFree and clear houses offer the potential of an installment sale, with a low monthly payment and no banks"Wholesaling only" is a terrible business plan in many areas

Real estate is a new venture for me and I am very excited to be a part of this community.

I would venture to guess there aren't a lot of BP family here that doesn't like to ride roller coasters.

Usually the only reason it did not sell is because of the unreasonable expectation by the seller of value.Market for properties in low income neighborhoods, look for vacant houses, send letters to non-occupant owners in those war zones, start with junk real estate, make offers to control them.

I would find the best multiplex in a non rent controled area.
