I don’t wholesale personally as I think it has a terrible ROI but if you are inclined to seek out distressed properties, the only real scalable option are FB advertising as Account Closed suggested or direct mail with an well organized, scripted telephone program.  

The contractors will support their returning customers or larger jobs more intensly then smaller low margin jobs with a new client. 

Now that I am trying to find ways to help our family with investing, she supports me, but I need a way to use the cash cow we have.I have not been able to find an article or explanation to get her to understand refinancing, maybe I don't understand it, to explain it to her.

I appreciate everyone for the help and for the support!

2) Whether or not advertising on my own website constitutes a general solicitation to the public for a securities offering.3) Whether or not I need to be registered as a broker-dealer for providing investment advice with respect to recommending the purchase or sale of securities.I absolutely plan to consult my attorney on these questions but I’m also looking for some experience based answers and a place to look some of these things up in black and white in order to have a more productive and informed discussion with my attorney.Thank you everyone!

We advertise for sellers to call us, we buy from other wholesaler's, we make a ton of offers, and I attend a marketing session almost every month.

Usually a 5% increase can be considered doable as long as the market supports it.

Another way I will support purchasing SFH's is to have a General Contractor that lives where you are buying out of state and you feel they are trustworthy, experienced and communicates well.Be careful when paying for work done except for maybe an upfront fee for materials. 

I am not supporting his service though.

The realtors pay for advertising, cost of doing business, and like it or not it is worth 6% to the industry.
