Here's a tip for working with an appraiser that can save you a bunch of money.

I did inspections on all houses and there's a fair amount of stuff, as can be expected.

If you do not want a bunch of damage then the cash for keys may be best.

@Nate Hollembaek I am in the Portland area so I do not know the Eugene market extremely well, but I do know enough about it that I think it is a fairly stable market for buy and hold investments because of the fact that it is a college town as well as an attractive city for people to live in long term.Not to sound too cliché, but you should probably get connected with a local real estate investors association there.

The realtor should work with the seller to let him know that the contract will be assigned to another end buyer.Is that a fair assessment?

Me and a friend of mine are fairly new and would love to join if possible.

You really need to do more than just take a bunch of averages, even with actual reported sold data.

We presently own 6 rental properties (townhomes) and have done fairly well keeping them rented for the past 4 years.

Maybe you have seen me post or comment here on BP, but I am fairly new to the wholesaling business.

I worked with Emilio on several projects in Milwaukee -- he did our permit drawings and helped us with structural and architecture issues on a bunch of houses.
