@Tyler Morace  I'd suggest working on your team prior to going in on this deal unless you plan to self manage and maintain the property over time.  

That tells me that the bank may have claim to full ownership but hasn't exercised it's claim(So it would not work for her to try to sell me the property without the bank's involvement prior to closing). 

Derrick Wallace yes, both asset types and investment vehicles.The general partners should "war game" different market shifts and exit strategies both prior and during operation.

With the seller's permission, do those patches on your dime prior to the appraiser showing up.

What homework did you do prior to bidding on the property?

I'd not take pets in the future.Get them out prior to closing if you can.Tenant 2, raise their rent to market and keep close watch.

Find an issuer using the issuer's exemption who can establish a pre-existing, substantive relationship with the investor prior to an offering.  

I have been told in the past that if you find a property in either of these status, you can buy them prior to the actual auction day.

Prior to a meeting at a property Saturday, I had given the agent a list of houses I was interested in.

There is a lot of back and forth on the wholesaling subject here.. as for whatever reason folks seem to think wholesaling is a beginner occupation.And while its talked about extensively it relates back to how we thought about real estate sales prior to wholesaling even being a thing and I think there are some very good correlations.As we know wholesaling is basically selling real estate. .your bringing two unknown parties together to buy real estate and your make a fee /commission for your efforts.Now in my days when someone wanted to start in Real Estate it was well known that you needed at least 1 year of income in the bank..
