@Tarcizio Goncalves I'm not that familiar with Worcester, other than the occasional drive-in for a Black Diamond REI meeting.

But, we're probably still 6-12 months away from having our ducks in a row in terms of general RE knowledge, being pre-approved, and potentially having to rethink our transportation strategy (right now we're car-less and rely on transit, bikes, walking, and the occasional car-share). 

I'm an experienced Investor who wholesales & rehabs with an occasional buy and hold.

These come up on the MLS occasionally, and definitely are an opportunity for off market (direct mail, etc) efforts as well.

I also agree that it is not easy to find them and if you want to predominantly work the MLS it will help a lot to be an agent yourself.Sure if you are doing a lot of other things and are just working with some agents to get the occasional MLS deal then yeah might not be worth getting your license.I have a license and can't imagine working listed properties if I had to rely on a buyers agent to find properties, get me into them on a reasonable time frame, get me the comps to figure out ARV then write up the offers for me.

You also will have to deal with the occasional tenant bickering since they didn't pick each other.3 - No different than usual.

Occasionally finding will fall through, or the buyers can't proceed for various reasons.

When he first bought it, doing the rehab we would hear an occasional strange noise, but brushed it off as it was a half-double and figured it was just noise from the other side.

As a Rehabber, and an occasional wholesaler I prefer sending  a bank statement to the seller, and as a wholesaler I require a bank statement and not a Pre-approval from my buyers.

I'd be interested in an occasional evening meet-up.
