Find the listing agents fax number and fax them a "letter of intent to purchase".

I have found a building on the main street of a small city population 19,000.

That said, as I write this I have an electrician in my kitchen, moving circuits and switches mainly (it was a poor design), when he's gone I'll actually install the recessed light cans, then texture and paint.Remember, if you're paying a "tradesman" $50/hour (cheap in most parts of the country) you have to "earn" about $85 to net the $50!

(I'm in Maine.)There are LL associations, which I plan to join as soon as I have a property.

Our main concern is rehabbing a house long distance with a contractor.

I came to this board mainly to look at different financing options and things of that nature since I haven't kept my credit in the best shape.

I found out that the site is still very much within the developmental stages, they just launched in January 2007 and they have intentions of coming out with several different applications specifically related to real estate and taxes.

I guess my main question is, how can I go about acquiring more condos with dropping every cent of my $100K in closing costs, etc.?

Hello folksI found a couple of great properties, mainly REO's, and i need to find a money partner who would want to get in on it.

both are middle men, the real estate agent and the wholesaler - the difference isthe real estate broker doesn't contract to buy the property - they contract to negotiate the sale of the property.the wholesaler actually puts the property under contract, usually with no intention of actually buying it, but rather looking to flip the contract and make money - fast money.the key here is to recognize how BOTH do this without having to put money into the deal itself.
