I do know most rust belt areas and depressed areas have houses listed for cheap.

@George Blower thank you so much.

I’m a new investor with 1 property under my belt.

Did they need to see a few successes under your belt to show you knew what you were doing in that particular asset class?

I'm still trying to get my first deal under my belt to wholesale and I'm facing many challenges.

Hi Shi'Mere,I have a few wholesale deals under my belt, so here are my suggestions:1) finding buyers - try places other than your REI club, post ads on craigslist, backpage, kijiji, postlets, OLX (all free), go to your yellow pages and call all of the "we buy houses" ads2) refer to #1, and contact your real estate agent friends, if you don't have any, make some3) in my opinion, this is the BEST time for wholesaling, all the inventory is what will make this year so much betterJust don't give up.

On many relatively new furnaces (OK, I mean all three of the ones I've dealt with in the last few weeks), the control board has a set of adjustments for blower speed.

It's great to hear that you've got some deals under your belt and are looking for more!

Where those who have several deals under their belt can take the easier road of 506C using their track record. 

You usually need a couple of deals under your belt to get folks to trust you with their money.
