This was one of the sites that came up when I conducted a quick Google search.The huge gaudy lettering, cluttered layout, and busy text just scream scam to me (kind of like commercials that come on tv at 3 in the morning).

The more you know the better prepared you will be, but if the information doesn't come easy, don't press for it.POST ACQUISITION:1.

Wear a company logo golf shirt 7 days a week, clean and pressed, with a company logo ball cap.

You will be pressed, it’s all they really want to know, but don’t start that habit.

The listing is saved and when it goes vacant, I just press "activate" and it is listed again. 

Some other ideas for generating revenues:-Lease to own, aka option to buy-Refer them renter's insurance-partner with moving company for discounts for tenants + % to you-resell internet access (getting harder with more competition and cheaper rates)-pool monthly cash flows into sweeps account, i.e. play wth the "float" on the money-allow tenants to customize rental prior to move in; 52" flat screen TV = $39/month, additional ceiling fan - $5/month, new paint color = $79/month...

Once I found those, I look at the condition and then I look at - How many days it is on the market, and how many contacts it has over that time.In a HOT market I see 10-20 contacts per day - you can expect the rental to go super fast and for even moreA stable listing in my market should generate 3-5 contacts a day - most of these will be tire kickers, but from this amount of interest you can generally find a tenant for that apartment within a week or 2a cold market - ive seen too many comparable listings, landlords offering crazy incentives (free TV's, free rent for 1 month, etc) - these listing are getting less than 1 contact a daySo once you found a listing thats similar to yours and is generating 3-5 contacts a day, that is a pretty safe rental price

If I look around myself, seasoned investors are all waiting for crash now.... also Diane the public is inundated with social media and TV  and infomercials of how you can get rich in real estate with no money no credit no experience.. this is the target of the how to wholesale guru's.. 

You wanted 35, you'd take 30.Then you have 145 to build the spec, you build it and make 35 getting your land sale price, you end up with say 143.5 with sale costs selling yourself, with a realtor listing that's 10,500 for the Realtors, say 12,000 on costs of sale.So, after you build the house, your labor, time, etc. you net 163. less 30 as a lot sale, just assuming you have a pressing obligation, you have 133, you lost 12,000 but dumped the lot.What if you used your 145, paid off any pressing issue with the lot at 30 and you still have 115 cash and keep the lot for sale. 18k difference. 30k in land, 115k in cash = 145.It's going to take 4 months to build that house, if it doesn't sell you have all your money in a rental and you'd be down 145 and still be stuck with the lot.
