Your ability to sell it [at a profit] is dependent on other factors.Are you dealing with a non-performing note, a re-performing note, or a performing note?

Your wholesale business will thrive or die based on your ability to generate leads.

The condos' master insurance policy service crew fixed everything in my rental condo and I never saw a bill for anything.

I could ask to see a bill.

It is also an awkward conversation to have with an investor to ask them to prove up on their ability to invest in your deal.If you or anyone reading this thread knows of reputable certification services we would gladly pay for them for accepting new equity into our fund once it is set up.

Your ability to repair a heavy fixer?

A lot of this may depend on your liquid position, ability to access data for the markets you're seeking to invest in, and the type of support you can have in any particular market.I can tell you TX is old faithful and you can get into deals with less out of pocket, but there is high competition and your margins may be lower than say GA.

It doesn't surprise me that they were able to get these deals sold, either to newer investors who didn't know the area well (or didn't have good estimating ability) or to more experienced investors who could do rehabs for lower prices.

If you want that ability, go MTM.And as for the last month's rent, just hold on to it.

@Tommy Yost- 1 advantage you will have as a military member will be the ability to find good rental units that you can move into as a your PR and rent them as you move to your next station.
