That person made suggestions, and I called the city, and finally to Streets and Rights of Way.

im finally getting starting after about a year of studying wholesaling. but i have ran into a roadblock when it comes to choosing my business card layouts.

The choice depends on what you are doing.

I'm concerned that after I put in my non-refundable deposit, I'll be "pressured" to accept the actual terms of the rental agreement when it's finally drafted.

For me, when you can spend a third as much money helping people than you can killing them, the choice seems obvious.

Once the investor has the property it is their choice whether to add it to their portfolio as a rental unit or try to flip the property for a profit.Hope that helped.

My final question is, how will having an FHA loan affect our ability to get an investment loan?

This way the GC can easily bid out each part of the job, and get me a bid much more quickly than if he has to consolidate based on my "room to room" list of things to do.I'll then have my GC give me a labor bid broken down into the following components:- Permits- Demo/Dumpster- Foundation- Roof Framing- Roof Felt/Shingles- Siding- Gutters/Soffits/Fascia- Decks/Porches- Landscaping- Doors- Windows- Wall Framing/Sheetrock- Electrical Rough- Electrical Final- Plumbing Rough- Plumbing Final- HVAC Rough- HVAC Final- Kitchen Cabinets/Countertops- Bathroom Cabinets- Bathroom Fixtures- Interior Paint- Exterior Paint- Carpet- Hardwood- Tile- Vinyl- OtherOther could consist of anything from install mini-blinds to replacing outlet covers to installing appliances.This generally gives me (and the GC) enough detail that the job can be accurately estimated, and if things change (or surprises are found), we can adjust individual areas accordingly.This also gives me a good idea how much each of his subs will be making, allowing me to figure out what his profit margins will be -- giving me some negotiating help if needed.If your contractors have an issue with filling this out, try telling them, "My lender is requiring me to break it down this way in order to approve the loan."

Such as traveling and scoping out areas untill I finally pulled the trigger on the property?

Has anyone had any luck with being able to use their title company of choice when purchasing REO's?
