This is what makes a loan officers job difficult -- estimating the third party fees from the beginning (they will get actual costs once in process).Hope this helps!

From the very beginning they don't know the basics, I can't fathom all of the missteps, mistakes, miscalculations, omission, erros and faults throughout the process. post script: I do agree however, that there are a few "bad' agents. 

I like where you're going with your thought process and analysis.

Wholesaling in SoCal can be tough....i haven't found the competition factor a set-back yet..if your really out in the streets, knocking on doors, at your court houses, county buildings consistently you find there are not as many wholesalers as you may think actively wholesaling.....there are quiet a bit of people talking and wanting to get in...i use the county buildings and the court houses for my leads...there are some really great untapped resources and tons of different types of leads you can get from those two places...and of course I have not discovered anything brand new...im just realizing the sucess is in the fight and how hard you want it...when i found out about these two sources i started to pull data from them and let me tell you it was overwhelming...but it was a gold mine...before i made enough money to pay someone to do this for me....i had to spend hours and hours and hours daily scrubbing data....finding address and owners names...etc...i have a system now and it runs smooth...i find some really great deals throughout LA County and Riverside County...I have 2 cash buyers that have bought all my deals...thats another important thing find real cash buyers...when i first started out i didnt have real buyers and i found out other wholesalers were acting as cash buyers just passing my deals on and on and it became a daisy chain leading to no where...Anyway i love wholesaling and i could type all day..if you want some creative ideas to find properties PM me....but dont give up...and don't let anyone discourage you about SoCal...its tough and it will literally make you cry....lol but its great place to start wholesaling...if your willing to put in the work...

Hi,I am in the process of rehabbing a home I own. 

Picking personalities is a really crucial part of the process and making sure that the vibe stays positive and collaborative.

It sounds like there will be an overhaul to the data side of things coming in the next 6 months or so.

Again, knowledge is the key element in this whole process. 

I don't believe you can just rent to section 8 without having gone through the approval process

Is the process of getting this unit vacant the same as any other standard tenet?
