Do you have a regular contractor that you use for foreclosures, or do you do the rehab yourself?

I'm having trouble accessing my small business email which I do through Yahoo Small Business (I have no problem accessing my personal email on the regular yahoo servers).

I am open to help out in any way shape or form to get my business going by helping my regular clients.

If it's items that Fannie Mae or Freddie mac or the FHA require like double straps on a water heater and running water and co 2 detectors and something covering the floors ( carpet or tile ) then it's a must if you want buyers who have to get regular conventional financing. 

There are other REIA groups that meet regularly.

If you know the area well, drive there regularly anyway, and have on the ground help, that's all huge.  

I will check into BP regularly seeing that my pockets are not big enough. ;-)

@Cory E.If it really was a flip, i.e. property bought, fixed and resold - you would have been taxed much harsher: regular income tax + self-employment tax.

As for me...I'm just getting started wholesaling part time (I work f/t at Baptist Health) so I'd be interested in also knowing what you all are actually looking for (i.e. what's a good deal in your eyes)?  

If you don't hear back in a day or so I'd call back.Lastly if you get them and decide it is worth checking out do that and you can say that before making an offer you want to look at it again with your contractor to get an estimate for any work you want to do, but say that this is in lieu of a formal inspection and you offer will waive the inspection (assuming going through with a contractor is good enough for you to waive a regular inspection).
