Because of the slumping market and this house is on the west end of Atlanta if I were to resell it today, I end up at about breakeven and it may take two months to sell. it would easily have sold for $175,000 just a year ago in its current, renovated condition, I really want to avoid fire saleing the property just to get the cash.

I have a few investors I work with finding flip and long term hold properties, helping them remodel/redesign, then market and re-sell or build their portfolios.Give me a call or shoot me an email and discuss what is it that you are looking for to see if we have any alignment.John Schuttstudio605.com512-423-9340

When you say "real estate investing and rehabbing" are you referring to flipping (reselling) properties after you renovate them? 

Know what you are buying relative to your market  and buy at a price where you can re-sell and not get hurt if the rental doesn't work out.  

I have one Oregon partner that I fund his stuff he already got nailed by the state and that's why he uses us.. we get into title then resell ..

His boss buys alot of properties fixes them up and re-sells them and is very successful, but he is focused more on the construction business than an investor.I'm glad I found this website and plan to read up on older posts to be more knowledgeable.

Confident in the ability to resell after the foreclosure, if I again seller finance, given the high cost of housing in the general area.

in areas of high density rentals the only way values get pushed is by the wholesaler and then by the turn key or investment company buying them and reselling them.. but there is a ceiling.. and that ceiling is basically the 1% rule for most folks. 

I did a little research on what a LOI is and I'm concerned that if we go that route we will have issues when we go to resell the property again in a few months.  

So 175K for purchase plus another 175K to build plus holding costs (12 months to be safe) and we can resell according to comps at 450K-500K, which will give us a profit of 100K-150K.
