We would make a good team, lol.

I would recommend the One Brokerage, David Greene team.

You're saying invest in something that lost or will lose value, convert, then just wait for it to re-gain the value?

They have a system, team, and their own contracts, and also provide proof funds, even the EMD. 

Everyone is truly your team member and not your competition.

Many of these were lost in tax sales, and the ones that they got re-performing underwrote loan mods at low single digit interest rates during ZIRP and could not resell them at a profit once interest rates were hiked.

I recall reading in Forbes that major foundation fixes can add surprising value, becuase it addresses the single biggest fear buyers have.. a shaky structure.From my three decades in fix-and-flips, Ive noticed how important it is to have a team you trust.. from attorneys who know probate deals to realtors willing to drive for dollars with you, scouting hidden gems.

I lost money to Teshaw as well.

Anyone used them and actually had success or no success and lost your money?  

After a rough first year where I lost money for 8 months followed by another 4 months of learning how to self manage remotely, I had a great 13th-25th months where we have kept the placed booked, kept it profitable, and largely reinvested into the property.Here is the question though-  to buy the first property, my wife and I used a HELOC on our primary and used that for the downpayment on a new property,  for the furniture, appliances, etc, and all of the other little costs that go into getting going.
