I personally would not agree to pay these costs, but if the deal is sweet enough.....  4.

Your agent is probably trying to push you into a deal (they work for commission, remember that golden rule).I actually bought my first property for less than what the seller wanted, all cash, no financing, closed in 7 days, well below the assessment and nearly 40 percent below average market price, rented it out and hauling in sweet money now.

Massachusetts as an example.Is there a particular sweet spot (lower end of the market vs. middle or high end) for doing high volume wholesaling?

@Toyin Dawodu Seems like a guru whispered sweet nothings into your ear.Rental income is passive and tax advantageous.

@Donald Patterson , I agree with @David Kohn  -- this could be pretty sweet if you could get it for no more than about $125K.  

Build in PM and a maintenance person costs and offer accordingly.If you have to assume self managing and making your own repairs to make the numbers on this deal look sweet then do not do it.

@Chris Doyle - sweet pic dude.

2 months ago I lost a SWEET reo deal and I'm pretty sure it's because I asked for (and included $200 payment for) a 7-day option period.

Sweet....

Maggie has the small mountain town vibe which is nice get away from it all feeling and only 45 mins from DT Asheville it makes for a sweet spot.
