If you are looking to resell the units in a short amount of time then consider SFR because the resale is easier, the gains can be higher and the interim rent is higher as well.Tim Czarkowski makes a good point about financing.

What did you budget for holding and re-selling costs?

I bought a small residential house at a great price 3 years ago with the intent to fix it up a bit and resell it for my first investment.

Thinking ahead, since deals that are going under contract now could resell in 2013, do you think the waiver will be extended...think it will depend on who is elected?

., that were purchased to fix and resell, or were they already remodeled?

But at the time the husband of a colleague at work was some area manager for one of the two billboard marketing companies and I tried to get some number I can add to the monthly income.She said there is no way you get anything done with a billboard if you are not marketing/"reselling" through one of the two companies.

And some sellers will put in deed restrictions that limit your ability to re-sell the house for some period of time.Better to get out there and beat the bush for private sellers.

If you have the deal under legal contract, you can either sell (assign) the contract (if you used the words "and/or assigns" in the offer (which is what most wholesalers do) or if you didn't use those words (like with Bank REOs, which won't let ya) you can do a double closing, which means you buy the house and then re-sell right away (within minutes).

Personally, I want the wholesaler to be able to give me a ballpark estimate of what the rehab would cost in order to get to the ARV he is providing.In other words, if the wholesaler says that a property will resell for $150K, how much will it cost to get the property into the condition where it will resell for that amount.

I will be using OPM to buy and I want to resell it ASAP.
