In reading post after post on BP, I am getting a wide snapshot of different strategies which is excellent for my own edification.

I am still working on the renovation costs but they would be somwhere 40-100k (I know its a wide range, and I need more detail, I havent seen the units yet).My question is this: I have always wanted to use my dad for at least a partial financing (smaller financing for down payments + conventional financing).

-A diversified economy - areas that have a wide variety of big business.

There's currently a small 2ft deep by 6ft wide storage closet in the back of the carport, but we'd like to have much more space for the tenants. 

How wide of a spread do you typically use between bank/owner financed? 

The laws on wholesaling vary widely from state-to-state. 

(ignoring shipping which I’m sure varies widely)• are there effective sources to seek units for sale (aside from Craigslist)?

If you complete your profile and add a good photo of yourself it will be easier to network.It will help you to know there are many BP forums available on a wide variety of subjects.

Rates and terms vary widely.

Bartenders will see a wide range of people and not are all that pleasant....
