We don't work for free.Most managing brokers will not allow a RE agent to wholesale for the simple fact that you have all the benefits of being licensed and the managing broker does not get a piece of the transaction (some managing broker's get upto 50% of their agents' transactions).

I can pay the $35k and rehab it when I could just get a different property altogether for less or I spend another $8k to demo the existing property and clear the lot and end up with a piece of land that probably has no value (if houses in that area are worth $25k).

Selling the property without a 1031 Exchange and taking the tax hit now.There are other more sophisticated/complex strategies available, but need to be discussed with legal and tax advisors to determine level of tax risk (if audited) and suitability for the investor.

I had a piece of land tied up near Albertsons I was going to build 8 four-plexes on but title wouldn't insurance an easement and I was not comfortable moving forward.

Here is a piece of Vermont.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/good-magazine/vermont-most-likely-to-s_b_84820.htmlWhich was last Feb.

Screening is a pretty minor piece of the renting effort.

Shana some markets are not rental markets at all.In those cases you invest in other markets where you can leverage your returns from your higher income in a more healthy market.Example if you had 300k cash and you could buy 12 properties at 25,000 each that rented for 700 a piece for 8,400 a month could you get the same return in Canada buying a 300k house??

Have all the pieces in place but as usual looking for funding and advice.

Great piece of feedback.

One large room, a closet and a bathroom, so lots of small pieces.
