When you are going to get a deal under contract with a seller to wholesale, what contracts do you take with you? What do you do after they sign the contracts?

Do you want to manage the property yourself, field tenant requests, and schedule maintenance and repair appointments?

It's a very independent job in which you pretty much schedule appointments to take pictures of homes and proceed with market research to generate an opinion of value.Urban planners often work for the government, and they typically want an urban planners degree.

No one wants to waste their time (and money) making an appointment to see a home without having some idea of what they are walking into.

We're still waiting for the appointment to view empty models. 

If they give a phone number, then call them.About 3 in 3 appointments will be no show.

You are correct that not all personal lines carriers allow it though - in FL we have appointments with 25+ carriers and only 6 allow for vacation rentals, but they certainly do pay claims on them. 

Get your suggestions and the information you gather and make an appointment with an attorney!

Find a few community banks and credit unions, setup appointments with the commercial lenders and introduce yourself.

Make it clear what you are offering, if anything.When setting up showing appointments, your first question should be are they working with an agent.
