I’ve been involved in the Charleston marker for a couple of months now, and I’m trying to pick up bits and pieces as I go along.

It's better to know all the info than piecing everything together afterwards.

@Tim HallThanks for summarizing the basics of wholesaling into manageable bite sized pieces as mentioned.

I'm guessing it was a cash offer, and this was my first piece of evidence that not everybody in real estate is honest.

There is a piece of land with a knock-down house that we will be going under contract on and I wanted to know what experienced land investors can recommend for due diligence?

My one piece of advice is that even though you're planning on getting your license, you may still want to use a Realtor during your first investment property purchase.

It has quickly turned out to be a nightmare, not only because of the water damage but also because of the property management company (notice, I said company – it is a large internationally known company).I spoke with the PM, their handyman, the tenant and a mold remediation company to put the pieces together.On April 16th all new appliances were installed.

Top notch Hoover schools in a neighborhood that has only become popular in the last 10 years or so.

Most of the tiles were old and would break into a bunch of pieces rather than peel up as a single piece.As with the carpet, the stench was ridiculous.

I pay my project managers a combination of salary and commission (a piece of all profits), so the more projects I do -- and the more successful they are -- the more money the project manager makes.In a typical year, I might spend $500K-$1M in labor costs.
