I guess is not difficult at all to get a whole shopping cart set up but the catch is how to attract all the traffic that goes to Ebay and that eventually is going to bring buyers for your product.

This is such a "win win" situation - I am surprised it is so difficult to get financing.I think we're onto something - at least we have a possibility.

Another huge factor is time allocation.Wholesaling for example, normally requires less money to get started than let's say rehabbing, but it will require much more upfront time allocation.I would say the most difficult thing when you have no money, is to find ways to make money with no money.

The cap rate is 9.25%.

Is the 3rd connection hooked up or is it capped?

Hi all,Wanted to start out by saying thanks for some great info on here.First let me say I'm relatively new to real estate investing, and I come from a technical engineering background and am finding it VERY difficult to justify things I've been told to say by my coaches, because to me it feels like I'm manipulating instead of being straight forward and honest.

I help people out of difficult situations.

In the future you might want to take your caps lock off.

Second, getting $35,000 financed for fix up will most likely prove difficult on your very first deal with no money out of pocket.

But I worry a bit that all the transaction costs (time and money) in finding and buying the house on the front end, and and selling the house on the backend, with accompanying paperwork/legal/etc, would eat up so much margin as to make it difficult to make real money on the rehab itself (i.e. improving a run down property back up to 'market' value).For those doing 1 & 4 (straight flipping or rehabbing and flipping), how do you find properties priced low enough, and sell them high enough, holding down your costs all the while, to make a decent profit?
