No problem with that kind of transaction.But the fact remains that in MA and many other states, wholesalers are not legally able to market properties (or contracts for properties) that they don't own.  

https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/cities-re...I read that you shouldn't invest in a city that you don't want to go back to visit at least annually to check on the property. 

In cases like this you might consider what kind of collections are they?

.  :-)One thing to consider is if it's someplace you want to visit year after year. 

Could anybody point me to any books they recommend or very low cost from a good and credible company who does this kind of research?

But the lowest priced listings for those homes is 110k to 130k - even though they need rehab.So even if I wanted to come out of pocket to make the LTV numbers work with the lenders, the reality is the house wouldn't return the kind of cash flow I would want.

If they have experience closing the kinds of deals you are looking for they should be prepping you on what the market can realistically give you based on your criteria. 

What kind of paperwork do we need, who should I talk to to get it?

Thank you so much for your time and visiting!
