However there is no reason you cannot begin exploring the rental market around you right now.

I'm looking to try and get a property, but was looking for a reputable wholesaler.

Posts that are hard to understand are usually ignored.Lastly, it's considered rude to disagree with that guy Financexaminer, avoid that at all costs, he has a reputation of being very gruff and has little tolerance for those who disagree with him.

Currently exploring two different properties and searching for the appropriate lender to get pre approved this week.

Actually, I don't even appreciate you tagging my name in your post.You might want to pick up a copy of Norman Vincent Peale's "The Power of Positive Thinking" to help you with your thought patterns.I'm sure there are some real scumbag POS out there that do things like this, but my reputation is worth a whole lot more to me than a $126K note.

They don't meet my requirements of good schools, good people, low crime, small semi rural towns.I'm not saying no good people live in Clayton, just that with bad schools and bad reputation which now includes Dekalb it's harder to attract good people to a rental there.

Sorry to have to say that it sounds like the repair is yours to pay, and I would get it done sooner rather than later as you don't want water damage caused not only to your unit, but to your neighbor's unit as well.Generally speaking, if a repair is needed for something that only serves your unit (in this case a drain line that at the point where the leak is serves only your unit) it's your responsibility to get it done.You may want to try calling a reputable plumber.

I may loose money by doing that but you can't put a price on your reputation.

If its from a reputable lender, just write your offer as financed.Why are you trying to wholesale MLS properties anyway?

My next investment could be a small owner occupied multifamily property but I'm still exploring my options and educating myself.I look forward to meeting and learning from the BP community.
