Investors are supposed to be knowledge and able to take a risk, otherwise they shouldn't buy from HUD.If your numbers were off that much you either didn't look at the house in person or need to work on your ability to assess a property quickly without a contractor going through every switch plate and door knob with you.

This way I can make a low offer, if he accepts then Im able to assign property over as a deep discounted property to maybe a contractor investor or rehabber?

I am in need of information on good contractors for all aspects of renovations (electrical, plumbing, etc).

Get at least three contractors to look at the property and add their estimates to your budget for ARV.

Second, all of your numbers are estimates if you haven't had the priority either inspected or a contractor to review the property for REPAIRS.

Once you determine your top 1 or 2 teams, agents, contractors, PMs, turnkey providers, whatever, make the trip to meet them.

Except the agent isn't an employee, he's an independent contractor who only makes money when you buy/sell something.

Some small towns in PA even require contractors with a state issued license to register at their town hall, apparently to collect the fees for that ...

My questions is am I able to pay a leasing agent as a 1099 contractor that is not licensed to show my units?

By receiving part of the fees for these services, you become invaluable to someone who needs a trash hauler, gardener, painter, contractor, wholesaler or a professional like an attorney, lender or real estate broker.This will also permit you to both spend more on acquiring clients and maximizing the frequency of contact with the person in charge.
