My earned income will be going towards my own house and living expenses with little left over for investing out of pocket.How did you overcome the challenge of not having enough money for your first deal?

I know its my first time but I really want to be successful with my first wholesale deal, not only for myself but to show my parents that I can do it.Do you think there would be anyone looking to buy?

Is this a deal breaker or maybe something I can use to my advantage when negotiating?

If he files a transfer deed to the Land Trust or if he "sells it" then property taxes increase, the change in hazard insurance becomes a tangle.I wouldn't give authority to a bank person to collect rents, file evictions, deal with repairs... there are set up costs and on-going management costs.

He claimed he could get a deal on a new one (stainless, I'm sure) and he would change the fan out himself.

The best areas where you can still find deals. 

I know some do SMS and email blasts but what have you found successful to get realtors' attention to send you deals?

During that year we had 2 offers yet they backed out of the deal at the end.

Have you done any deals lending in the Ohio or Pennsylvania markets?  

I think you can find a good deal and win in every market.
