I go with the lower number to stay conservative.  

Given the lower returns per transction, I'm thinking to reach the same level of extra income it would require just as much work to Wholesale in the end.

You can approach a broker and ask them to be a "Transaction Broker" where they represent the best interest if neither the buyer nor the seller but act to complete the transaction.

Feels like a good deal (nice lower income neighborhood, bike paths, parks, 10 minutes from personal residence ) but the AC and roof may not have too much life left.Based on my analysis, I think the FMV for a 2/1 like this is closer to 35k.Inspection in a couple days - planning on asking for $3-5k back at closing to a) mitigate risk of roof/hvac replacement and b) bring purchase price closer to FMV.Is a deal like this worth walking away from if I don't get a concession post-inspection?

For instance disabled, or over 65 or homestead exemptions can significantly lower the property taxes until you buy the house as an investor and everything is reassessed.

Hello AllI am meeting the end buyer of my whole sale transaction tonight (1st one).

I used the cash to pay off the final bit of my credit card debt to improve my credit score even more (it's currently at a low 700) so I can qualify for lower interest rates.  

Keep in mind if the description/pictures show the home needed a lot of work, then the price will be lower than normal, and alternatively, if the description/pictures show the home was completely renovated, then the price would be on the upper end.

The HELOC had a stipulation where I had to take out at least $40,000 and keep it out for three months, in order to get a lower interest rate - I guess so the bank would get some of their interest right away, although I'm supposed to close on the property soon.

They need to be legitimate transactions.
