I am an IT professional seeking to develop my own REI business, and network/build relationships within the REI community.

There is a lot of great stuff on the BP site and I always seek to use it as a resource.  

I suppose rent could be increased to account for the higher utility bills, but in general is there a general clause in a lease that you normally put in to disallow things such as the window air conditioner or other modifications to the unit.

I am looking for a realtor that can work with me to sell my fix and flip property in 77033 in South Park section of Houston, Texas.

I feel I have an obligation to the industry, including the smaller players, to make sure they are at least aware of the risks, and that there are intellegent solutions should they choose to seek them. 

Some points about me and this property:- it consists of four 1-bedroom apartments - rented to young professionals- this is B property in a B neighborhood - current rents are $2300 ($550x3 and one $650 - the $650 is the newest tenant and the apartments are identical - so it sounds like the rents can be increased in the other 3 upon lease expiration)- it's listed at $139,900 and has been on the market for about 3 months- my calculation on this property is based on full asking price and current rents- The COC ROI is misleading based on the way I did the inputs -- the only cash out of pocket will be closing costs which I've been quoted to be about $7000  out of pocket. 

Each flip *should provide enough profit to increase working capital even though I'm repaying the 401(k) loan.  

I am wondering if anyone seeks out a wholesaler to find properties for them rather than relying on the MLS?

Hello,My name is Willie Barnes Jr.I currently own a logistics corporation, and seek to enhance my asset portfolio by efficiently and effectively investing in real estate.As a real estate investor, I currently specialize in wholesaling real estate, where I seek to truly add value to distressed home owners who are seeking opportunities to profit from properties they currently own.

I look forward to making some mutually beneficial contacts and building long term relationships with like minded people seeking financial freedom, abundance and release from the "rat race".
