Sort of lame really to be honest, but if you skim through it you may end up with some nuggets that will help you sand the floors!

My partner and I do have funds to put in for our skin in the game, but honestly not much.

We honestly ignore the list price on a bank owned property and really focus on getting a solid ARV, nailing down the repair costs and then submitting and offer that makes the numbers work for us.Hope this helps!

@Sam Shueh, here is my post to my 1st flip:  My 1st flip@Ashley Wilson, I believe they just sprayed these, but honestly I don't know :) We just had our GC do it and they turned out great.

If this is really the only time you want to rent out the place I would do my best to clean everything up and compile your belongings as much as possible and then be really honest with what people are getting on your listing.

I can't wait to get started but honestly have no idea how to.

Honestly for me, it is hard to balance my time, I know that you stated that you have to pay a price, this price comes with time and effort towards the things you want.

I agree if you cant provide supporting docs you don't deserve a high price offer and the property could go higher if he had documents but without them the highest I could honestly see paying is $170k

That's not going to stop me from continuing to bid on properties, but it's definitely been a slow process so I'm opening myself up to other options and seeing if a diversified strategy would make more sense.I've also looked into off market deals, and honestly, the wholesale deals I've come across are not good deals.
