But watch out how you're looking at it.  

Watch out on this though.  

Yup packages arriving that don't need signature can be problematic, above post is good thought about weight,, have tenant call sender and report it to the sender that received only partial contents, could the sender maybe be sending in 2 shipments and this just a partial shipment.Advise tenant not much else to do than require signature required on packages or have them sent to their job so they can take delivery there.This is a huge issue all over the country, people watch delivery trucks and simply rip off what's been delivered to the door step. 

Watch yourself.

Your eagerness to answer people's questions is admirable, but I think if you watch some of the conversations as they unfold, you'll learn a lot more of the technical aspects of accounting and taxation by reading and absorbing the answers from others.Most of the CPAs here have key word alerts and they will chime in on 99% of the tax related questions.  

It's a little bit of an apple and orange comparison.

In my novice opinion, this is what needs to be done to the house:Mold inspection/eradication (water damage from leaking water heater in attic)HVAC neglect (possible mold)10 Fogged Windows (house has numerous large beautiful windows that have become opaque due to moisture)Pressure wash exteriorReplace Carpets (approximately 1500-2000 sq ft)Paint interior walls/sand and paint trimPlumbing hardware has all been removed/needs to be replacedPool filled with excessive amounts of leaves/debris (pump is running)Excessive amounts of trash throughout house yard and pool houseLive Oak growing onto roof (arborist needed)New Sod (currently all weeds)Pool Deck ResurfacingGarage Door Openers have been removedLarge golf ball sized chip on bottom of granite on islandresurface built-insExterminatorPatch holes/cracks in walls (about 10 fist sized holes)Many light fixtures missing (10 or so in closets and bathrooms)smoke alarms missingSo, part of me was disgusted and felt very guilty watching my buddy conduct a walk through via the internet.  

How about THEM apples?...

Otherwise you're looking at the standard 20-25% which might price you out of your market.I would watch HUD homes, and REOs that are offered to owner occupants first.

I was watching a few videos on YouTube and came across a video about virtually wholesaling with Cris Chico.
