I've picked up some cool stuff I will be looking at implementing later this year.The mortgage-targeted "free webinars" and advertisements are a waste of your time. 

Great deal and very cool you were able to represent both sides.

Ok cool @Tom Gimer, always good to hear from someone on BP when I don’t understand something and I’m about to wire funds.

I did not know that every pipe burst or split or that it was not winterized and that the main water line to the house needed full replacement. 

Keep in mind that the seller is going to try to get out from the property for a reason, just ask a question and listen, if he's motivated enough they will reveal more than needed OR they will not have enough selling points which could be a bad thing. ie; vacancy rates (leads to knowledge about the area or housing issues the tenants had), water usage (potential plumbing issues), appliances held in the units (leads to how old the electrical is in the home) CHECK IF THE OUTLETS ARE GROUNDED !!! 

If you are wholesaling and you're broker is cool with it, just make sure your process is transparent...a lot of brokers are not investors and they simply don't understand your perspective of using creativity to solve problems and earn a buck. 

The owner pays water, garbage, sewage currently.

I think the utility is Los Angeles department of water and power. 

It is definitely cool to see!

Some were single moms that worked crazy hours to stay above water and kids were left home all day.
