Dodd-Frank does not require any particular underwriting method to be used, that means one does not need to select a particular program method as used in VA, FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, USDA, or other secondary market programs.

You can add a trust but verify method with handyman and video.

There is baseboard and window/door trim that is white; some other color for walls and ceiling) My gut feel is that this is expensive.Any input, including positive experiences with handyman or painters you've used would be much appreciated.

He has three or four different methods for structuring, documenting and completing a wholesale transaction, depending on the facts and circumstances.

Is anyone else having good experieinces with this method of finding homes to purchase?

I like the method that you are using.

I am putting in new light fixtures and replacing some trim, that with a show quality cleaning and I think it will be ready.Just a note on your project be sure and check out your contractors.  

@Shawn Daniel - Unless you will be using the ole "get-it-under-contract-in-the-name-of-the-business-and-then-sell-the-business" method, you really don't need an entity at all.Some people use this somewhat cumbersome method to wholesale REO deals that are not assignable.  

These institutions play the role of the investor and insure the bank that is lending credit a method of compensation as long as the loan has been underwritten correctly and closed legally regardless of whether or not the borrower defaults on it years later. 

The method I had in mind, other than Craigslist, was a local publication.
