Best of luck to you and good to see other people from Fargo, ND gracing this site.

If you've been reading up on wholesaling, then you know you can use several strategies to find deals such as direct mail, bandit signs, driving for dollars or searching sites online like For Sale By Owner or Zillow.  

I'm building a duplex and using a lower cost builder who doesn't do any of the site work. 

I do what I can remotely but the assets I typically buy require me to visit first hand before final approval goes.

Most of which are repeat family visits year after year.

There's a big difference between reading books, listening to podcasts repeatedly, asking for advice on this site where the responders don't have a truly vested interest and a mentor that you're paying that has an absolute interest in your success.  

If rotted, they can also replace window sill/framing on site, etc.

Have you done a member search on this site to try and connect with lenders?
