Did you end up adding this technique to your tool box?

I got some real stats and some real great ideas on how to improve posts without going to black hat techniques.3.

I have found no luck getting a HELOC on my rental since it is not my residence.On a side note, could you share some of your amazing rehab techniques?

Well, wholesaling techniques are "taught" as a low-risk investing method - sometimes that means that risk is passed along to others ...

That makes it clearer for me along with the expanded answer.If you don't mind my asking... do you assign your LO to the Buyer or do you assign the Buyers LO back to the Seller (the technique that Joe McCall uses)?

What you are describing is the best way and use those techniques in combination with relationship building and you will win.

The $300 bucks for 3 full days was well worth the information and basic techniques we got out of it.

It's based on too many assumptions that may or may not be true, and can lead to both overpaying on a property (to the point of not being able to generate a profit) or under-bidding on a property (to the point of not being competitive and not getting any deals).I much prefer to use analysis techniques that take into account the actual cost of capital for the individual investor (are you using your own cash, borrowing hard money or something in-between), the actual cost of commissions and closing in a given demographic (sometimes the seller will pay buyer closing costs, sometimes not), the actual time you expect a rehab to take (a six month project has vastly different holding costs than a two month project), and the risk on the project (is 15% return enough or do you want 20-25% returns on more risky/costly projects), etc.70% rule is lazy (IMO) and while it's fine for a first-pass analysis, if you use it to make buying decisions, you may find it impeding your success.

I will still use these techniques when I get a nicer property.

You assign a contract, double close, buy in an LLC and sell the LLC or some other technique that makes you a principal to the deal, but the basic idea is you find a buyer, find a seller, put them together and collect a fee.
