We started this Wholesaler Mastermind and Accountability Call, so we could find more off-market deals by training new wholesalers how to build lists, find phone numbers, create solid mailing, emailing, texting and cold calling campaigns that will boost our effectiveness and likelihood of closing more deals.

It's a fourplex in Norfolk, Virginia, right in the heart of a very popular area for young people known as Ghent.

So the seller installed it and - in my offer price - I upped it $500 with the heart of "covering the cage cost to reduce the threat of theft."

But anything more than that is problematic because it's not MY home even if I DO win the bid, and if I don't get the house and have been attached then my heart is broken.

Maybe you negotiate a better price, maybe you do seller financing with your dad at 3-4% interest (more than he would get with the bank, and less than you would pay on a loan= win/win), maybe you turn around and do a lease with an option to purchase (not lease option, you would need 2 separate docs for this one, talk to an attorney who has done them before), maybe you turn around and do seller financing at a higher price and higher interest (cash now, plus cash flow without the responsibility of maintaining property), or maybe your dad believes in you enough and wants to help give you a boost in the beginning by allowing you to flip the house and takes the profits from it and get into a better property, or multiple properties.  

(BTW, I spent my formative years of age 12-30 in Waukesha, so it has a special place in my heart...)

The water and heat was already built into the rent so when I drastically reduced those cost- I effectively got a boost in rent.I think that an investor would be most interested in having separate electric meters (and water depending on your community).

Took me a couple of hours of work replacing the piece, but I didn't have the heart to charge them.

Who are the ones that operate from the heart, with integrity ?

People keep me around because I boost their confidence to go forward, ambitiously.
