That way only the applicants that you are actually considering leasing to have to pay a fee for the background check and the others that don't pass your initial criteria aren't paying a fee.  

So it's no easy task getting these homes pry'd out from unresponsive owners or lien holders until they are ready to list.I actually do believe there is going to be a recognizable drop in 300+ homes value and demand but the entry level, rentable, first time home buyer homes will ALWAYS sell if priced properly.

But I wanted to reach out for actual investors to link up with.Best,Peter

@Kris Spevak, make sure you post this in the local forum for your area so people in your area will actually see it.

There could be a lot of reasons why they are adverse to using it; they want actual cash into the deal, don't want mix assets, too much hassle to babysit another property, etc.

I recently attended a RE meetup event and the speaker emphasized treating real estate investments as cold, number-driven investments and actually suggested buying properties physically far away from the investor is one way to control for this to ensure that investment decisions are made dispassionately.

I would love to make this deal happen but only if it's actually a deal.

I just took possession just under 2 weeks ago and boy I have learned a lot in that short amount of time (I actually am going to be starting a blog here shortly to share what I have learned so keep an eye out).  

If you are actually wholesaling the properties you could deduct it as a business expense of your wholesaling business. 

Hopefully one day you'll be big enough to actually NEED that service, and if you didn't plan for it at the beginning then whatever profit was left is either at zero or in the red.
