This can be a great way to actually talk with people that are more experienced than you and a casual way to ask them questions.

I'm in Augusta (Evans actually) so I can provide a little insight into the area. 

Although #1 and #2 act separately, their combined impact can create an impression (or even an actual result) that "all losses are unlocked

I am actually interested in parting with some agents that are also interested in property management!

There are actually several, but this one probably has the best selection of furniture...although it is very hit and miss.  

Most of their properties are either live auctions that they host ( like one in 5 foreclosure auction properties here in Wa) or the online only are actually properties that have reverted back to the bank meaning they couldn't sell them for their minn bid to the local investors. 

You mention wholesalers, but sometimes a wholesaler does a "double closing" where you are actually receiving a deed from the original owner.

I'm not saying what my opinion of this was, but I never saw a single owner divulge the real amount....they would usually make it about 10-20% of the actual costs.I'm not even sure if you are legally required to tell them what you spent...seems like an invasion of privacy issue....?

In this case, more than others I feel in the area, the implication on the deal for the lender is not the region, but actually the method of acquisition.

I have looked at RS Means, and Core Logic, but I was hoping someone has actually built a single building in the last year and could give me a little guidance.
