Matt........Sub's work in any market........it doesn't matter if we're appreciating 100% a day. that 1 guy/girl/couple that just got transferred from their job doesn't have time to hire a Realtor and fix up the little things that needs fixing to make it re-sell ready.The same goes for anyone else who 'needs' to sell....for instanceyour selling your home......it's fairly nice and not much to do with fix ups etc....I come to you and show you how if you listed it with a Realtor and it took 30-60days to sell what you'd actually be walking away with....Think about that......Sale price (minus) commission and 2 months mortgage = 5k dollars(ish) ......these are just illustration purposes ofcourse....I then tell you I'll pay you $ for your equity in cash today and close tomorrow.........They just sold their home in 1 day and walked away with money at closing without having to deal with any commissions..again just illustration purposes, I'm sure someone will come on and give a different illustration, the point is Sub2's and L/O option work in EVERY market

As a matter of fact, since one focus of the program is to get investors to purchase so-called "bad" assets (basically REOs) from the banks, there are many investor consortiums around the country (including ones led by former executives of the Resolution Trust Corporation) that are organizing now to buy these REOs in bulk.

My thought was to take the capital i do have, about 15k or so, and finance a distressed property, rehab, and resell to build up more cash for buy and hold investing?

Do you use your own money then resell?

Or maybe it's because the vast majority of them make money selling re-selling courses?

The specifications, drawings, contract documents, and permits must be made a part of the sale transaction.If you wish to work as an unlicensed builder/remodeler your only alternative is to own the house until the work is done.Lot's of people make money buying and fixing, then renting or reselling property.

You can improve it and resell it quickly (fix and flip), you can buy in an up and coming area and hope for overall appreciation.

That is just one of the ways to get organic traffic.If you really want your website to come up to target local area for people wanting to sell properties, then PPC (pay per click) is your best bet.

I just don't know how they are organized and what types of financing is used.

This paragraph and agreement shall survive Closing and continue until Buyer resells the property or until all existing indebtedness is satisfied.
