In the meantime, I have been going through all the old podcasts to educate myself on what others have done right.As far as my own real estate background, I worked on some of my family's properties in College Park.

Welcome @Nick Larson nice to see another Georgia member and more importantly someone with a solid construction background.

To give some background; I bought my rental property in Nov 2012 and on the day of closing did my final walk through of the house, while checking out the crawl space I noticed a small amount of water around a drain in the floor.

My career background includes significant time spent in risk mgmt and finance.

As for myself, I dropped out of business school to pursue my dream to be a "business man" and now I currently co-own a growing commercial cleaning business (its really not my passion at ALL) which pays the bills, so I as well have a business background,but its just not the kind of business I want to be committed to full-time anymore.All this week I have been working on a business plan to pitch the idea to my maybe future business partners, did a ton of research on how to wholesale, but I can't seem to find out the legality of this practice in Wisconsin especially with the whole "assignment of contract" or "double closing" methods.Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Searching through the MLS listings, my eye is constantly diverted away from searching for profitable properties to admire a Second Empire Victorian with a beautiful Mansard roof, a stately Greek Revival, or the sleek lines of a Mid Century Modern.

I have the capital to begin in a lower end part of the City of Fort Worth (probably a $45-60,000 home that I will finance and I have a total of $75,000 cash for the project and future projects).The obvious problem is I live in NY, I have my brother in law who will be my project manager down in Texas who has a relatively long background in construction , I will be building the parts of my network that I haven't already in the next couple of months to come as far as construction, financing, realtors etc.I would like to save myself the expense of hiring a general contractor to do the work and plan & direct the work with my brother and law.

IF it doesn't have their name highlighted in a blue background (like yours is above) it didn't work properly and you should try again.

Isn't she a beauty?

When doing the background research on potential properties has prior to making offers, how do you go about vetting the property enough to have the confidence to establish an asking price on the home??
