Starting out as a new wholesaler, I'm interested to know of any known pros and cons as far choosing the pricing of homes to wholesale.

The turn key operator you choose is critical.

If you choose not to purchase yourself, that is YOUR business.

Just make sure your dealing with reputable note buyers.

The state nexus is just general real estate law for the state and does not vary depending on whether IRA or non-IRA money is used.The exception would be if you choose to use the IRA LLC format in order to have more direct control over the funds.  

And just to make it even more tricky, each municipality chooses exactly how to calculate and enforce this 50% rule... for example, I may be spending only 40% of assessed value in renovations, but before I purchased the house, the old homeowner did repairs totaling 15% just a few years ago (or many years ago).

I use Upwork.com. there are lots there to choose from.

Before you buy anything, I would search "Wholesaling" here and you'll spend the next couple weeks getting to know who has been here a while, has a reputation, and you'll find TONS of info.  

Hello BP,I'm wondering if there are any guidelines to go by when choosing the lender? 

I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.
