Taking an active role in participating in the forum discussions made a big difference in my growth as an investor.So are you looking to doing a flip?

I'm done with this discussion.

Best to have a very frank discussion with the lender up front to avoid last minute surprises.

Then you can use the 50% rule (well discussed throughout this site) to determine your offer.

With that said, I've met with another rehabber in my area (a member on the forum) to discuss possible partnerships on a deal-to-deal basis, barring proper due diligence on both of our parts.

You input is greatly appreciated in discussing different exit strategies.

But, I'll also add that a listing agent is much more likely to have a frank discussion like this with another agent than with a random potential buyer.I'd find a good buyer's agent and have them contact the listing agent on your behalf...

I'm an active investor here in Chattanooga and would be happy to discuss further with you if interested.

This opened up some serious issues but if was overlooked the house would have eventually burned down.My uncle would check on the property when he could but since he works for full time for another investor it was hard for him to make the time.We are in discussions about him working full time for me when I launch my renovation company because we work well together and he is very good at what he does.

Anyone investors with realtor/broker licenses working these markets, please contact me to further discuss.
