Either fortunately or unfortunately me and a buddy got a small 2 family for $34k and plan on doing about $10-15k rehab by ourselves, now my partner is going to be renting 1 floor and my step daughter the other (this is where it might be unfortunate part comes in, but me and my wife are doing this to help her out)...

it was the one with a young guy who knew a bunch of his buddies and they were all helping him.he did a great job and things he said were very spot on...the only thing i could see that "changed" a bit without being pointed out was that in the very beginning of the show - he mentioned a 250,000 profit...by the end, it was 140,000 - after the property was appraised.he bought it for i think 500k, lived there for 2 years...did 35k work to it and it appraised for 675,000 [and they didn't show him selling it, just showing it - then the show ended].minna - hope all goes well man - what was your profit margin at 12k for the rehab?

i don't think those guys are withholding deals strictly for their investor "buddies."

@Will CrockerA buddy got bagged by the sign police.

I have a handyman who works for another investor and actually prefers S8 (gracious almost to a fault) over doing the $500k homeowners (says the latter are a PITA).and then I've heard the bad stuff. my buddy is a cop in a nice suburb. goes to the same apartment complex all the time. one call he got S8 gal shows up at the door naked. he asked her to put some clothes on...she returns wearing a hat...

I would be looking for coastal/Caribbean, it's mainly going to be something I wanted to do for my mom, and I've never exactly planned a vacation, (I'm 21 with no kids) besides road trips with college buddies...

I ran into a buddy of mine that swears flat fee listing services are illegal ?

Hey guys,If I see a property on the market for a REALLY long time, is there a snowballs chance that I would be able to call the listing agent and just say "Hey buddy, any chance you would let me wholesale that property since you aren't doing anything with it or making a commission on it now anyway?

Out of state property in an area where my buddy has been investing for a few years prior.

I joint ventured with my buddy builder and we hit the jackpot. 38 homes with nice profits.Point is to let your imagination run loose when your looking at a property and then work the numbers, you never know, for example when I had to move to my present location I looked at a duplex for sale in a great location of nice homes.
