Hello BP,I am looking at a number of distressed properties to potentially purchase and rehab, and am wondering what is the accepted practice for getting bids on the property, as far as what point in the process do you get a contractor out to the site to provide a bid?  

They can get a portfolio  loan with  3% down and rehab packaged into mortgage but it's a 75 day process.

I intend to get into it once I have more information on the topic.I am operating from Finland and would like to ensure that all things run smoothly in the process.

I've taken the time to get pretty comfortable and understand all the processes with wholesaling.

If someone has had a successful experience with the “Bird Dog” process, please feel free to contact me or provide your advice via this forum.Thank you

I will be sure to keep you updated through the process!

I know it's a time consuming process but it's all I have to work with as of now and gives me a good estimate.Looking forward to seeing other's responses!

If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process. 

Here at Carrot we see about 30k real estate investing leads a month come in from our clients 100% online so it's been cool seeing the process that is working for people.

Typically a short sale is a process by which the seller can unload the property with the banks permission knowing they (bank) aren't going to get what they're owed.
