No loans, I could own them all debt free.I have my own workers for most of the work so fixing them up would cost me a lot less than hiring another contractor. 

You need to know your business inside and out for 2 reasons.First, you want to talk a lot with these experts you’re going to hire in the other markets so you can test their skills and get comfortable that their expertise is at your level or higher.

I'd also consider hiring a property manager or a handyman. 

But even then, if in your title search things look messy, it is best to hire an attorney.

I tell them I can't afford to pay for your project you are hiring my company to do the work and we need funds for that,  period. 

@Mark Brogan  issue you have in many markets is you have to hire abstractors to do title reports and the closing attorneys don't want to get stuck with the bill.. when the wholesaler realizes the property can't close and flakes out on the Attorney and won't pay.but yes I think its a good value add if that is your SOP's I certainly would if I was relying on these transactions for my lively hood ... but wholesaler is just the wild west.. no license required full of wanna bee's and newbies that come and go in a few months time.. wasting their time and others.. we all know this.. its not a business.its a stepping stone for most..

As a apart of the closing process I would suggest you write into the purchase agreement that you hire at your expense an appraiser and that the sales price will adjust down to the appraised value or the sale is canceled.  

As a new investor, if you find yourself in this situation, it is recommended hiring a representative to negotiate the lien if it is federal, it could actually save you money.

What I am hearing is that is most major cities, There are a few good apples, and a lot of rotten ones... and The rotten ones have kind of ruined the rep of the whole "Wholesaler Name"...    

I asked if they see any black growth on the spot where the leak happened, or any odor in the room, but they said both those things are not present.They are saying they are concerned and not very happy right now, and are hiring a mold inspector on their own to see if there is mold growth that happened due to the roof leak.
