Alternatively you could passively invest in any reputable sponsors deal on BP...there are several good ones...Goodluck

I was just trying be proactive and see some alternative method.

You CAN, however, offer in the name of an LLC, and then SELL the LLC, thereby wholesaling the contract.This technique is called a "disposable LLC".

I need help making a decision to sell my property at an excessive loss, hold onto it knowing that I have no money to fix it up, or wondering if there is an alternative option (i.e. bank taking the offer even though it is lower than the mortgage and treating it like a short sale)?

I suggest you plan for it and start to plan on marketing your account with your current broker or other brokers who have alternatives your current broker is not contracted with.

I am a part-time investor with aspirations to grow my portfolio using alternative financing methods over the next few years.Looking forward to learning with/from you all.

Alternative: absentee landlord.

Welcome,You will learn alot on BP, even as you apply what you've learned you will find others whose tried similar techniques with info on their results.  

Alternatively, perhaps I'm missing something beneath the surface on this renovation that increases its value vs recently renovated comps - i.e. the new electrical and plumbing; or the fact that it is a "full renovation".

@Mike McKinzieCouldn't agree more about how outrageous the fee structures are for a majority of PMs.I do property management in San Diego and my team and I charge a flat 8% fee for full service management.The only exception to this is our "one-time tenant locator" service, but that is an ALTERNATIVE to on-going management, not in addition to.It is beyond me how some companies justify charging fees for leasing, advertising, maintenance, etc on top of their "management" fee.Is it just me; or is advertising, leasing, and maintaining the property not the core function of a PM?
