Here's what auction.com said about the transaction details: "Buyer will not be charged a Buyer's Premium for this property.If you are the Winning Bidder, an Earnest Money Deposit of 5% of the total purchase price or $2,500 (whichever is greater) is required.Buyer may receive a Special Warranty Deed or equivalent if Buyer is able to purchase title insurance without delaying the closing (title fees typically cost between $500 and $1500 and are based on the purchase price of the property).

I'm based in Virginia.

It is a quick synopsis of what to look for based off of my experience both managing properties and talking to other investors which have hired management firms.

The rating was based on the Executive Supervisor payroll and the cost of the Subcontracted work. 

I would love to get a better understanding of what duplexes in this area actually sell for, and not just running my numbers based off of initial listing prices from owners.

Of course not.If you consider the fact that if you have no money, you would be better off going to McDonald's, getting a job, working for 4 months saving up a decent marketing budget, and THEN attempting wholesaling, your chances of success FAR supersede the chances of doing what is cheap (but with a terrible success rate).People, understand this.You do not seek success based on what you have.You need to figure out WHAT YOU NEED to become successful and get it.

Sidenote my Outer Banks rental is crushing which has caused me to shift my focus a bit from cabin to beach for the next investment, based on current market prices.

It isn't electrical work based on what you are stating.  

I got started by fixing and flipping properties here in Pinellas County and now I own a Wholesaling company based in Tampa but we do business all over the State. 

I'm also a local CT based investor.
