the reality is BANKS left the fix and flip market after the GFC.. very few will do them unless your a premier client of theirs with a  long track record and they are doing them as a service to you. 

I have found very little deals thru an actual wholesalerRe read what @Thomas S. wrote If you don't take the time to educate yourself, create your own business plan,and know the metrics of buying selling rehabbing wholesaling,marketing ,etc you will just be throwing money away like the hundreds of newbies flocking into the business 

I am in the process of gaining expertise in land wholesaling and I am seeking to establish connections with builders, real estate agents, and investors who are acquiring off-market properties.

I dropped the rental rate last week and it is now below market rate but there are currently lots of active rentals on the market.

I like SFHs because in some of my markets they have a huge potential for upside and appreciation.

In regards to your markets you mentioned, TX is likely going to be a better market for appreciation than OH. 

I'm now in the market for an income property or two!

If the HOA had a lien on file before you closed that would better substantiate their claim but given that you obtained title insurance that couldn't have been the case. 3.

That should take the most time - determining a realistic ARV and market rent should be the work of just a day or two.If the numbers all work and you've satisfied yourself with the neighborhood, it's time to put one foot in front of the other by making an offer.

I have been building relationships in my target market and underwriting deals.
