A regular appointment could be weeks away, which could be hard to get to sync up with a closing.Best of luck.

I'm a wholesaler in Houston and it's been hard to get those great 70% - repair deals.If you're looking for them good luck, but most wholesalers have "regulars" that they know will be buy them with one call.

Get your credit cleaned up, get some cash saved up, then think about buying a residence if that's what you want.If you're determined, I'd be upfront and offer the asking price (or a bit more), no money down.

Send regular white letters with normal type to other business people.

I spoke to the city and before the closing I will need to have a licensed contractor send a bid to the city to be approved on all of the problems found on the city inspection report, which includes a bid on everything from putting in a smoke detector to cleaning out a gutter.

I personnaly have not done any P.M. on vacation rentals. 10% is the norm for regular P.M. but vacation rentals requite more hands on work.

It should be neat & clean, & smell good.Take a look at trulia or zillow to see what houses that are similar to yours are getting top dollar.

When a property is purchased this way, the previous mortgage and any tax liens should be wiped clean, but I still have a bad feeling about this.

Be sure to hire one that is a regular at the courts.

And I can add value by cleaning it up and/or vacating problem tenants.
