I have a small list of leads on vacant or run down homes that I would like to send mailers out in hopes to purchase the homes.

Purchase price: $270,000 Sale price: $290,000 I found this property through the MLS expired list.

If you pick a martlet a three hour plane ride away it will be hard for you to learn that market well enough to make a decision. 

Do you list the property?

I've come across some wholesalers lists I could use some help verifying if they are a reputable source as well.

The issue with using comps on any type of software, especially propstream or dealmachine is that they tend to use an "estimated value" of the homes that they are using for comps, not actually comparing to what has sold recently in the area or what is currently listed, not accounting for DOM (day on market) or other market shifts that play into realistic valuation of a property.

Ever since that AirDNA article there has been a ton of new listings and investors in the area making it much more competitive. 

Any wholesalers out there thatll let me pick their brain?

@Marisa VoelkelI usually pick theexit strategy primarily by the level of rehab needed:Flip - If it needsa full gut, I will just tend to flip it.BRRRR - If thereare salvageable parts (i.e. solid floors, and decent tile in the bathrooms) Iwill rehab what is needed, refi, and put a tenant in there.

I am using an app for wholesale listings in my area but even those won't cash flow as buy/hold (it is more for fix/flip).
