I would suggest searching for a few local, reputable direct lenders in the Virginia Beach area and calling the for terms. 

hello BP,Can anyone recommend a reputable title company in philly for wholesalers?

Historically Inglewood doesn't have a great reputation, but I've heard that parts of it are on the up.Can someone please give me some insight as to what areas would be worth pursuing?

If you want to create a good reputation, be known for your integrity, and have peace of mind with the deals you do, please pull the appropriate permits. 

Hi Reggie,You got some awesome answers from quite a few reputable investors.

Regardless of whether a particular tactic - the obnoxious Craigslist one comes immediately to mind - is legal or now, your reputation is the absolute most important asset you possess.  

It was awful because I was trying to build a reputation and was unable to figure out ways to make these leads work. 

As in most cases be careful that the contractors are reputable and GUARANTEE work to new homeowner!

Do a search here on BP for "Rich Dad" or any other type of training you may consider...What you'll likely find is that there are a lot of high-priced, national training organizations out there that have VERY poor reputations.  

Unlike a regular homebuyer, who may have difficulties, your failure in a deal would put you out of business, your livelihood is on the line, you're not about to get a bad reputation over some home purchase!
