Listen to one of the Wednesday education seminars and there’s even a discount to join Pro usually.

The improvements needed are simple cosmetic, sand floor, some new vinyl flooring here and there, paint, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and new appliances. 

The entire point is to find distressed properties/properties where the owner is in distress, and need to sell at a discount quickly. 

In his case it was a good thing because it got someone to bust open the bathroom door.

Here are the details: Purchase Price: 400,000-425,000Single family home with a mother in Law suite in back; as configured now its a 3bed/1bath and a 1bed/bath; Will configure turn the garage into studio w/ bathroom, so essentially will a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 baths (as 3 separate units) after renovation.

Added a bathroom, making it a 2/2, then opened it up to less qualified buyers by offering financing.

They have good network of contractors that give discounts to members too I believe. 

I am currently working on building a 480sqft 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit in the backyard of a rental property.

An off-market deal takes longer to find but has the best chance for attractive discounts.
