(I'm not an attorney so I'm just raising an issue you may want to discuss with an actual attorney, but you may find this series of videos on wholesaling which was made by an attorney in Ohio to possibly be applicable to your situation.)In general I'm much more in favor of spending time to build relationships with a smaller number of buyers you've met with a few times and vetted a bit, instead of doing a mass mailing campaign - the "rifle" approach rather than the "shotgun".If you decide that's something you want to investigate, you could contact active people here on BP and/or go to your local real estate investment group such as RIREIG in RI or Black Diamond REI in Mass to start building relationships.Good luck and let us know how it turns out of course!

But you don't have to do it in such a way to limit your active investing.Use refinances now while money's easy to separate your debt from cash properties and personal from business.I'm guessing that IN has protections for homeowners and your primary residence.
