Just trying to absorb everything I can before getting my feet wet.

I wanted to know how to go about buying one and what funds would be needed to get me on my feet.

House has a walk-in basement/crawlspace that slopes back, and lucky the bathroom was on the "slope back" part so I only ended up falling about 3 1/2-4 feet and landed in dirt with my upper body still sticking in the bathroom, but talk about scaring the crap out of you!

I'm new to the business looking to get my feet wet doing wholesales, and by being able to interact with fellow investors is great.

Also buy your figures I would think there are smaller units.I might consider to increase the square footage on a few of the units to increase their rental income potential.I would not do the deal unless you are sure the value of the total monies you will end up paying is strongly supported by the current market value of comparable properties in the area, but then again if you can truly get the job done in 4 months time is on you side just remember "Murphy's law".I am just thinking these properties were just sitting there all boarded up simply earning nothing in the first place.To my mind the price your going to end up paying on a per unit bases is what I would expect to pay for bran spanking new construction based on my estimated square footage of each unit which I base on your expected rent per unit of $800.00/mo. 

I am in the process of obtaining landlord insurance for 2 properties:1. 2300 sq. ft. home with 3 car garage and in-ground pool worth ~ 560K2. 504 sq. ft. condo in La La Jolla worth ~ 285K I am getting suggestions on coverage by property value but I think it should be square feet because the condo is worth about 285K and 5 miles away would be worth half that.

I would love to hear from fellow wholesalers on their experiences.Also I would like to reach out to any flippers on the areas they are focusing on, and where they would like to get wholesale deals.Right now I'm looking at:Fountain Square, Lockerbie Square, Holy Cross, Fletchers Place and Meridian Kessler.Suggestions, thoughts, comments?

Change the 70's floral windows in the garage to square windows that more closely match the house.

I think the reason is that your repairs tend to come from multiple categories: very cosmetic(carpet) to fairly substantial (new kitchen cabinets and appliances) to major systems (HVAC, roof, electrical) but rarely falls squarely into just one of those three categories.
