And if the seller asks, I just say that the deposit goes to the lawyer and sits in escrow till closing, you don't actually get it. ( which is true) Then when I find my buyer i send both contracts (AoS and assignment contract)to his lawyer and my buyer ponies up the deposit.

You don't need a company, a web site, a fancy car, you can even get by without business cards.

@Steven Hamilton IIThis is true.

& Walking would do me good.Anyone offered a finder's fee/$50 gift card on a mailer?

One time I had a run down house that I thought was empty, it had a lot of the classic signs, left my card.

I invest out of state, true cash flow in my area just doesn't make sense.

Because my oldest credit cards were discharged in the bankruptcy, my credit history only goes back 3 years.

Start marketing yourself.Business cards are pretty cheap so you could leave a card, or if not a card, a handwritten note in mailboxes, with neighbors or in select places.

My name is Tracey Stegemoller and I'm currently in the process (setting up business name, bank account, cpa, business cards, website, etc.) of getting started in the Real Estate Investing/House Flipping business.

I currently don't even have a credit card, so I assume I'll need to get one to add to my credit score.
