I'll be back at it tomorrow after Crossfit ;)And no, haven't closed my first deal yet....but I have faith that I will :D

Schools system: D+.(6).

They are in some C and maybe D class neighborhoods and the margins are not there for flipping.

Hi everyone, I just got a credit report from D & B and I have 0 experience reading this.

Basically, a PL wants to have comfort in your ability to do what you say you will do, and have protection (a note, D-T, lender's insurance, hazard insurance, etc.) if your project catches fire, you die or are incapacitated, etc.

@Don Konipol - the move I want to make is to buy these at class C/D pricing, and turn them to class B.  

This is very likely a C/D area, right?

Originally I wanted to "drive for dollars" to get my first few deals but I've found that this doesn't seem like a very efficient use of time (I've found 1 possible lead in about 3 hours of D&D).Other than mailer costs what other kinds of costs am I looking at to launch the business the right way.

Some services are $149 flat fee, or 1% to put on MLS and some a d event going down to 3%, which is 1% for themselves and 2% for buyers comission...In most cases, I prefer do it myself for few weeks because i like the co tact with client and i have many creative solutions, lendersetc.... and maybe list it later... unfortunately too many realtors dont have any investment aide numbera, or experience, so they dont understand my thinking... usually they are not thinking outside the box on how to structure a deal creatively, put  restive stuff in descriptions, adjust terms quickly over the phone with potential buyer, etc...But of course, everyone has to make money.  

@Ryan D. - we will be using the addendum idea from now on, love that!
