I also set key word alerts for topics that interest me such as various strategies (examples are: wholesaling, flipping, probates, pre-foreclosures, bank owned or REO property, buy and hold rentals), or methods of financing (such as: seller carry or owner financing, lease option, LOC, VA loans, FHA, etc.). 

You may just study their methods or you might get to be friends with them and actually discuss deals.  

Hello,Interested in advice preferred method to conduct title search and obtain O&E report.Is there a title company you prefer to use, or do you complete the due diligence yourself downtown?

I have a great flooring and carpentry contractor that i often help and have stole quite a bit of his trade.

However, I completely understand if you don't want to share any of your trade "secrets".  

What other methods/options do you propose to purchase and rehab?

There are other differences of course  reporting, resale times State Approvals, SEC pre approvals, Suitability Standards, and advertising methods.  

How I do this is I have found at least 3 good sub contractors of each trade that have PROVEN they can do a good job.

I have some experience doing the mechanics of buying and selling,  but I'm excited to learn the business side of the trade. 

Are you licensed in a trade?
