I scheduled another home inspection to make sure all items identified in the first was taken cared of as listed in the scope of work.

I used to think Rs and Ds were equally horrible, but on different items...

Originally posted by @Brian Garrett:There are a gazillion people trying to wholesale around here.It’s an extremely competitive and saturated market.I am looking to do more inbound marketing (seo, ppc, facebook ads) as opposed to the traditional outbound marketing that many wholesalers currently do (cold calling, direct mail, etc..) which I believe should help in a very competitive market Curious as to what your opinion is on this

You likely want to take advantage of being able to write off items as if the property is a rental property.

I would not be concerned with title in the context of an REO purchase vs. a traditional sale as long as owners title insurance is being purchased.

What made them call you - what kind of repairs are NEEDED - so on and so forth....By the end of the meeting, you both will have "itemized" the areas that need work, and that gives you a jumping off point with how low THEY are willing to sell for, and how justified you are when you give them an idea of how much you'd buy for...The BP podcasts with Michael Quarles was great with this - He was on episode 77 where he discusses talking with these potential sellers with some finesse...He also was on episode 81 speaking more to marketing strategies as a whole.

People may be able to provide you what they pay, however, sometimes items like location, specialty of the accountant/attorney can make costs defer from person to person.

My goal is to get my finances in line to get a traditional mortgage or find a partner before the lease is up next year. 

I've always read about successful flippers/rehabbers that have done so many flips that they now have a set of items that they use in all of their properties because they know they work well together and are priced right.

These are all big ticket items you want to stay away from.
