Just as with any project, lots of puzzle pieces need to come together.

I would use this simple example.Picture a vacant piece of land right next to the piece of land & property you are considering. 

Good Afternoon Everyone my name is Precious I'm new to Biggerpockets.com looking to get into the wholesaling side of real estate investing in Miami, FL I am currently reading every piece of information listed on Biggerpockets.com but would love to pick the brain of those that have experience in this part of REI

But, it's a good thing I am a "nerd", because my interest in machines and buttons, and what makes things tick saved me thousands of dollars in the long run)This business is a business of people management, evictions, damages, court scenes, proving you are right in court, and having the proof and evidence to back up what you say.With that in mind, and me being my own attorney in court, I found the following useful "Technology" that enabled me to never lose a case in my 13 years as a landlord.The following is what Technology did for me, that helped me in all phases of this business.QuickBooks:  Kept track of all my tenantsKept track of all RepairsWhat tenants owedHow much each tenant paid in Security DepositsWhen I purchased a rentalHow much it costHow many square feetWhen I sold itFor how muchProfit and Loss Report to see where I stood financiallyHow much money I owed to my VendorsAnd everything I wanted to know about my tenantsNextI had Vonage Phone (An internet phone) that did the followingActed as an Answering ServiceKept track of the date and time the call came inCould view the call in audio and in written form on my computerCould print out the message and take it to court with meKept track of the date and time I called someone Allowing me to print this out as well if I needed it for courtNextStamps.comThis kept track of every piece of mail I mailed outThe day and timeThe person I sent it tooAllowed me to print out a report if I had to take it to court for evidence; And it served as a proof of sendingNextPrinterComputer/laptop (in my case if it had keys or a laser pen, I had it. 

It's a cash buyer and it's actually a piece of vacant land, so no repairs or inspections etc etc to deal with.

As a fellow Chicagoan, I can offer a few pieces of advice1.

Location is important but only 1 piece of the puzzle.

Its also worth mentioning that the tub has a piece of insulating foam approx. 9x36 down the underside touching the floor.Here are my 2 questions:1) Do I level the floor which would create a step into the bathroom? 

So I just wanted to share my findings:Prices per piece at 2500pcs seems to be about even among national print companiesNational print companies include design fees, locals do not and charge $75+ an hour with expected costs around $150-250Fiverr.com is full of excellent graphic designs who can design business cards, post cards, logos etc for $5-$50In order to print the addresses correctly the post card will have to be of a paper type that works with my printer, aka laser toner paper matte (not glossy)Whenever I have printed post cards in the past it has been a lot of work to get the spacing right, I end up throwing away 10-50 until I figure it outBecause the post card is small there tends to be 'angling' issues with my printer and sometimes the text comes out at 10-20 degree angleIt might be better to print on labels instead of the post card directlyNational companies will often pay/provide a list for you, locals do not and charge $35 or moreYou can get free lists from your local title companies since most (mine do) have access to county records.

hi takeshia from " elvis country"....lol. wholesaling is a good part of the flipping houses and RE world. however, each state has its laws regarding wholesaling. i would tend to believe a real estate attorney from the area on his or her opinion. i wouldn't say something is illegal if you can get a license to do it, its just illegal to not have the license. then we get into the gray area of exactly what wholesaling is. if you find a seller, and put them in touch with a buyer for their house, you are acting as an agent. without a license, that is illegal. but, if you find a seller, YOU get the house under contract to buy, and put in the contract your right to reassign the contract, that is wholesaling and might NOT be illegal. in that case, you are not acting as an agent because you are not bringing two parties together. you are actually contracting to buy an item, but then exercising your right to sell that contract which does have monetary value. just like a corporation creates a stock certificate and sells it on the stock market, it is just a piece of paper with monetary value that you are selling. please check with at least one other real estate lawyer and explain the process completely. show them how you would not be acting as an agent between buyer and seller but as an actual purchaser looking to sell the asset you have created. that may make the difference.
