If it is a good contractor, then he will understand that you could be a repeat customer and it is natural for you to be guarded doing this out of state.  

Curious why they are saying that an alternate energy source is not acceptable in the building department?     

RentPost.com is a much cheaper alternative.

ok...so its natural to have to look at a  lot of deals...that makes quite a bit of sense actually. 

My question is can someone explain a step by step legal alternative to wholesaling in Ohio without a RE License, and then with a RE license.

The seller naturally once the property on a balloon payment after 5 years (92k, I think i can bring it down to 80k but that's another story).How would I go about doing that without a traditional lender?

The second I sign the closing docs and the title is transferred my initial cash I'm investing becomes equity.Equity by nature is based on value and principal remaining on the loan, it's the difference of the two.  

If you do a balloon or ARM you can lower your interest rate - but I would base it on some available product.The cash(or bank financed) alternative is important because it gives them that option if they want it and it keeps either side from agreeing to a bad price.How long has the property been on the market?

Want an alternative way that won't ask for a 3 or 6 month commitment? 

my current employer (a huge PM firm) uses appfolio which is great but their onboarding fees PLUS minimum monthly fees are too high for my private portfolio.are there any cheaper alternatives to appfolio?
