I figure if I can average buying 2-3, do the necessary remodel work (ceramic wood-look floors, white semi-g-gloss walls..basically renter-proof the house) and hold it long term that in 10-15 years I'll be paid off and have great cash flow to retire on.My amateur thoughts are and keep in mind this is my limited guess on the oklahoma marketplace is:buy house 60-80K. invest 0-15K remodeling and simplifying the home.

I think this question is for the Marketplace which is for pro members.

Here's a recent thread about wholesaling:-https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/351...Can you detect anything that could be described as "unethical" in the following quote:-""Subject to partners approval within 15 days of the date of this contract."

Try Matt Miller (I can't post the number outside of the marketplace)He's in Bethel Park, but it's very close and he works all over south hills. 

Does anyone ever feel they get some traffic or deals off of the marketplace here?

They have demo data available for Nashville TN, but there is a cost associated with getting their info for your desired marketplace. 

Has anyone used marketplaces such as Roofstock and Homeunion for purchasing rental investment properties?  

Servicers at now required to report when transfers are detected.

Make friends increase your circle of influence - Hire a private detective - they are good at finding people (give his a piece of the profits)Check the death notices or search government record for certificates of death, check the obituary for next of kin - contact them. 

Hey everyone,        I am beginning to look into accumulating off-market deals in my marketplace, however after several sessions of "driving for dollars" I cannot help but think there is a better method to this niche process under the overall spectrum of RE investing.
