My strategy was to offer 10-20% below asking price and if accepted, I would move in a fix out what I can solo.

While I may not have much to offer now, I truly appreciate the knowledge from the BP members, especially those in Milwaukee!

When looking on a map you won’t know unless you know, or have a realtor show you on one of our maps that has the boundary marked on it.Running Springs area is pretty centrally located between Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear and is a cute little town, but doesn’t have much to offer in the town itself.

I don't think they will be able to offer the the more unique properties or locations that you can get now.

From those calls, you will have learned what your competition is related to lot rent, the sale of homes, how many POH they have, and what incentives you may have to offer as you sell homes. 

So I paid for a place to live in and then rented out part of that place.If you don't have enough money to pay for your own place plus enough to repair the other portion you're renting, then the place to start would be to work in any job that is real estate related, such as a contractor's helper or repair guy.If you us more about yourself we might be able to offer more ideas.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice, and maybe a miracle.I have been in the wedding industry for 6 years and looking for my own small paradise to offer ceremonies for the last 3.  

@Lien Vuong that’s awesome, I will definitely ask my principal broker about that to see what our company has to offer in that manner.

I have looked at the market value on the assessors website for most of the homes but am looking for advice on how to offer the owner something that is beneficial for me as well as the next investor that may hold it or fix and flip it.

@Nelson Taylor I don't have any answers to your questions - I wish I could give you one for #1 but all the good contractors I know are so busy that I'd hesitate to say any could definitely do it in that time frame.However, in case no one else responds, I wanted to offer the idea that you could also try to the state fire marshal's office.
