Like is “Hard Money” easily obtained for a newbie?

It's not that expensive and eliminates possible disputes that could arise from equivocal discussions.

You and I have already discussed this deal and the delayed finance portion of it but I still wanted to say congrats on a great and fast BRRRR!

I can come up with the $30k but I'm estimating about 50K in reno costs and have no idea yet how to to obtain that money.  

If you need 10 contacts to get 1 listing appointment, and 3 appointments to obtain a listing, you'll know that each of the 30 contacts are actually worth 1/30th of your commission. 

Build your team, and equity partners make deals much easier to obtain, but be a team player.

If I'm virtually wholesaling from out the country how do I go about obtaining the key for the property so that I can give my buyers access to the property?

I know that there's some discussion of this topic on BiggerPockets, but one specific issue I don't see being addressed as much as I would like is the repair cost issue when you're wholesaling virtually and therefore can't actually walk the house.I know the general answer is "get boots on the ground," but that, I think, still leaves a lot of questions.

But it is an intellectual discussion I hope.

Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss more.
