@Joe Gore's point about the paper work is important, have it ready to go.

He did offer to sell me the other duplex, which is 2 doors down and identical in layout, but that one is in rough shape and per his own admission the tenants are lousy.

Another term we use in wholesaling is "Pushing paper or Flipping contracts".

He was not mad at all but surprised to say the least I ask him if he wanted to sell his property he said he doesn't want anything to do with it basicly that it can go to tax sale I told him it was not scheduled for sale as of now and that I would bring him copy of tax papers showing his balance and no tax sale.

Thought I'd share this one as it's a little juicy. 13354 La Venta Poway, CA 92064ARV - $480,000-$500,000 Repairs - $40,000-$50,000Sold for $370,000Buyer was stoked on the deal, very desirable house due to its location (great schools) being at the end of a court and a really cool layout.

As I drove up and down each street I would look for boarded up, overgrown, papers on the porch, or just generally run down.Also look for dumpster or remodels.

So now I have to get four siblings to sign everything to sell this property and if one doesn't then the deal is down the drain.Now there is a bunch more paper work needed to complete this deal, I needed an affidavit of heirship and death certificate, and everything has to be signed and notorized by everyone.

Corey, for holding costs, talk to a Realtor or a title company..As far as repairs are concerned, just talk to a few handy men to see what they charge per sq. ft..nowadays(at least here) it's roughly about $45 sq. ft...as far as the ARV goes, check the paper to see what homes are selling for and use that as a yardstick for starters

What I basically want is ability to have paper/email bill sent to customer with a few clicks.Also I'm looking for a good "small business" accounting solution that would hopefully tie into the invoicing solution.

I am mainly looking for a mentor to walk be through the steps and the legal papers and how to write contracts and have exit strategy so I don't your can't get trapped in any way if deal falls through.
