I'm a somewhat experienced investor who's been at it part time for 4 years or so.

An experienced RE attorney should be able to help you with this, I would think :)

Looking to see more experienced out of state wholesalers add to the info!

I just read that you are 'new'.So my recommendation is to find an honest, credible, trustworthy, experienced, competent investor to work with and show you what todo that will share some of the profits.

And just when I thought I’d found this much older / stable and experienced (falsely claimed) one…

Anywaaaayss lol... ladies and gents, Ive been trying improve my cold call ratio and i need a formula for how talk to a potential seller/ and how finding out if an seller is motivated. i am a new investor as of which i have completed 1 deal and am in the process of completing an second, but for some reason this which i believe it due my mechanics and experienced level when talking to an potential sellers of course u get the typical hang ups, or the No's for no logical reason;. but when u find someone who is willing to sell and determining if there motivated to sell are two different things.

Probably not for you experienced people, but it definitely was for me.

That took a lot of search engine optimization (SEO) work.So, for marketing I'm using the internet and "we buy houses"signs in the neighborhoods I would want houses in.I'm only targeting median house prices which has droppedto about $250k-$275k.Now I'm looking to develop a more consistent business.The Portland-Metro market hasn't been doing that.

Since you are young (which means people will love to help you) I would go to your local investment meetings and find an experienced investor who will take you under their wing and you can bird dog for them.

There are more DOD and engineering companies down here(Harris, Lockheed, etc) so should be ok.
