I'm a wholesaler here in Texas and I've been told that the tax delinquent list is some of the best leads if you pull the ones who haven't paid their taxes in over 2 years.The problem is that they're not located in Texas (they're located in North Carolina) and I'm wondering if the same laws and scenario would apply in this state if I pulled the list of tax delinquent properties over 2 years. 

That lead to lots of podcasts, and, it seems, all roads lead to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and BiggerPockets.

You both may know what each other's strengths and weakness are and if he has a good network and can bring qualified leads, why not use it.  

Of course you would have to "sell" the big guys and lead them to believe that you are fully committed and in it to win it, despite the fact that you have another vision. 

It is critical that you complete all of it, including the lead based paint disclosure and any other state specific disclosures.  

@Ned Carey there are a total of 4 egress windows in the basement, the backdoor, and then the door leading from the stairs to the main level.

Most basement leaks lead back to gutters, downspouts and grade toward the house.

It has gone OKAY but there have been a few snags leading to thinner expected profits.

If you have a date deadline where your rental will be available you can advertise for that start month to begin leads.

I was on a mega team that provided leads, training and support.
