@David EdwardsAs an example let’s say you targeted a 15% leveraged IRR in the deal and you gave the limited partner a 10% pref.

@Grant Rothenburger yes but if this poster has a track record of flipping in the past they may be able to get it a bit easier than someone who is just starting out. 

I was convinced it was easier to enter the market now, but I'm not too sure anymore.

If it is a montly fine it may be easier and cheaper just to pay it. 

For flipping:Was flipping easier or harder in the 70s and 80s than it is now?

That will make your entire world easier.

With this being said, I do need to get better at and this will be easier in some counties to find the public records than others.

Make an anonymous call to the A/C Companies you're considering  in advance and tell the receptionists that they're company a potential target of a local news station for a coming up special on Area A/C Rip Off companies.  

This not only is required, but makes it much easier for someone to determine whether they might want to deal with that particular advertiser.

@Steve Vaughan  I think the reason they do is for some reason they believe what they hear that the way to buy rental real estate when you have no money.. is to wholesale first get some money then buy rentals.when in fact wholesaling or buying and selling deals quickly in any volume takes a lot of skill.. significant marketing capital.. and most of the time they are breaking the real estate laws.And you have all sorts of HOW TO trainers selling their boot camps and of course they lead with you too can get rich with NON of your own money..theoreticaly that's true.. but not really reality in the real world..not to mention some areas simply do not have enough distressed real estate to make it viable at all.other areas like urban cores and cities that have seen hard times much easier to at least snag low value assets no one wants.. much of this is done is rough areas.Granted there are always hoarder houses and other fixer types in the nicer areas but its uber competitive for them.. and generally there is not enough profit in them to feed all the mouths.the wholesaler the buyer the buyer having to use hard money the contractor sales cost etc.. that in my mind is why you see so many post about HEY wholesalers don't know what they are doing..
