My main business is going after vacant propeties.

They have a main office in Houston.

Hello Everyone,My name is Kevin I am 25 years old and live in Portland Maine.

I've been partial to BB heat, OUTSIDE of the worry that a tennant will throw something over the unit, and catch the place on fire, that's my main worry.

There are risks that don’t occur with a retail purchase, mainly in access for determining the true condition of the property (and therefore setting your make ready budget).

Just remember that the "gurus" main purpose is to upsell you to a more expensive product and you will therefore only read the positive side of the business.

Which of course the main purpose of the LLC is for liability protection.

I've kind of been turned off from foreclosure/auction/sherrif sales due to the long process and the inability to inspect the property etc.Besides getting the "balls" to actually approach people in preforeclosure situations, the main thing holding me back is financing, I simply do not have the money for a downpayment.My plan was to buy properties, hold on to and rent them until the market turns, and then eventually sell, but that may not be the best option at this point.Reading this forum the last few days I've been hearing some new terms:bird dogging - http://www.biggerpockets.com/articles/bird-dogging101rb.htmlwholesaling - http://www.biggerpockets.com/articles/wholesaling-properties-lg.htmlTo be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the main difference is.

Now if your question is in reference to the buyer's lender when you are wholesaling a property then the main factor is that you need to be wholesaling to cash or cash equivalent buyers.

It also depends on how far they have to run the main to your site.
