You should definitely put a premium on that vs. a town 5-10 miles away where you can park a truck...I am with the people that think that the guy probably doesn't want to deal with the job so quoted several grand more than he should have to see if you will bite and make it worth it to him.Let us know what your other bids come in at. 

My wife and I moved to Grand Haven, MI from Des Moines, IA in February.

Given the movement in Wesmere Lakes, Grand Prairie and even Reedwood... you have a goldmine in your backyard.

Although this would break the MAO formula of 70% - repairs could I still wholesale it and do an assignment of contract and make a few measly grand since it has about 70k in equity?

I keep trying to get them down to 133,000....so I have a tiny bit of money left in the account for fire insurance but they wont go any lower.Can someone lend my IRA 5 grand and if so how is that done?

-I am estimating around 50 grand worth of stuff that would need to be fixed in this place. 

You'll basically be doing a shitton of work so a bank can make a lot of interest off a tenant you find and will probably lose a grand or two in the process.

Hum...not sure what that means yet. 

You better be up on collection laws, have an equitable, financially equitable interest in the outcome, more than a grand in a transaction this size for your reasons to get involved, so again, are you an attorney or will you be getting one?

Anyone have recommendations for an investor friendly RE agent in Casa Grande Arizona?
