Comp only has a crawl space where subject has a full basement.155 Nancy 205kThe finishes in this one are pretty unappealing.

The buyers have done business with my group prior, sight unseen (not to be confused with not conducting due diligence) so neither of those two components are in question.

Other components of the total deal cost would be the purchase price, estimated rehab, and any closing costs associated with the hard money loan (points, pre-paid interest, insurance, inspection[s], survey, appraisal, etc.).

LAst time I checked, it had a lot of the components you are describing :)

@Jonas HarperYour problem obtaining conventional financing is that this is not a real estate investment, it’s a business with a real estate component.

I have purchased houses with asbestos siding (which is incredibly durable) and as long as you don’t break the tiles it doesn’t create an environmental hazard.

you hit the nail on the head, wholesaling is lead generation for investors of various types.When it comes to automation there is not a one size fits all but one key component is having a team in place and great systems but around modern technologies (I.e mail chimp, podio, globiflow, text and phone services, virtual assistants to do screening and schedule appointments etc)

Components I am finding the most value in thus far are how to structure a business and make it replicable.

I am personally focusing on investments that either have a larger percentage cash flow (which are less likely to find) or a value add component that can hedge some of the exit risk. 

Tax exposure, risk tolerance, investment timeline, investment objectives, and diversification are all critical components that should determine the way you utilize your funds and equity.
