For every house you mail to that does not match the criteria you are looking for, it is a complete waste of money.

@Dev HornI just posted some advice on a joint venture with the seller versus a we buy houses 70% of a or B minus cost offerThe deal was 190 ARV 30,000 in repairs free and clearIf you want to be a transaction engineer you better be able to deal with notes during joint ventures with sellersThe difference in these two offers the seller would have got 103,000 with the investor deal and 144000 with the joint ventureRule of thumb  I have in wholesaling sometimes is a ****** offer to the seller and they're all going to say no and you're wasting your timeWhen dealing with Minor rehabs in good locations, joint venture with the seller is the way to go

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on the most effective ways to market a service to listing agents.I'm starting up a business providing narrated virtual tours, with the goal of making them easy (since agents are pressed for time) and affordable (since they are loathe to waste marketing dollars).

That’s a waste of time and paper.If an owner is not home and someone answers, I offer to come back.If an owner is not home and no one answers, I will put a yellow sticky note on the door.

I did for the first 5 years in real estate.I realized how incredibly beneficial it is to represent yourself.These are my reasons-They are an extra middle man that is unnecessary for an astute and experienced investor.Typically the extent of their work is writing up the offer.They can waste valuable time.

Usually the deals won't pencil out to feed everyone so agents won't waste the time & frankly neither should you if it is too skinny.2.

I wasted a ton of time and money trying to do this and I had an established business with verifiable revenue and 3 years of tax returns.

We are in the process of tearing out to rehab a home and have decided that opening up the wall between the kitchen and living room would be nice.

Also when we were rewiring the electrical, when taking down the sheetrock we noticed that some of the exterior walls were not insulated (live in upstate NY, folks must have been freezing) So those were the unforeseen costs.

The driveway is tight and I am guessing the previous tenants hit the track/wall and knocked it out of whack.
