That is awesome that you are educating yourself and preparing yourself better for the 2nd attempt at REI.I also want to welcome a fellow Chicagoland investors to BP!

You asked a straightforward question, and it is strange that not one person even attempted to answer it with a quantified answer.

I'm actually in a city that seems like it would be a good place to attempt jumping into the market without a $200,000 loan to get started off.

Contract states that the earnest money would only be returned if a clear title could not be produced; it was.This Buyer is attempting to buy several commercial properties in the Houston area so Wholesalers be ware.

I purchased a licensing test package when I took my exam, and worked through all of the sample exams several times before attempting the real thing.

You are my first attempt at understanding this situation.

I had a similar problem when I attempted to reply to a post from my iPad.

so in this particular house, I attempted to buy it before the foreclosure sale, at the auction and when it became an REO.

I would attempt to determine what the comps would be when it it brought up to move in condition.

#2 Can I contact the banks that own these properties and make an offer or attempt to buy the property?
