Welcome to BP,Sounds like you have the drive and energy to get started.

This is an issue of local custom and between the MLS co-brokerage agreements as to any offers being accepted.

I still wonder if this is the best way to focus my time and energy or could I be more successful in another "traditional" type of business.When you think $100 - $300 a door a month, it doesn't sound like much money on one hand, but on the other hand you have a steady monthly cash flow, hopefully an appreciating asset, tax benefits, etc...I guess my question is, for the people that fully committed themselves to investing in real estate, what made you choose this path over another?

Wholesalers only value is deals and deals come from either dumping money into marketing or spending time and energy aggressively tracking them down.

Once these issues are taken care of the complex will be about in line with the customer base in this local.

As far as lender customer did mentioned HUD, but I doubt it.

As I think and discuss this more I'm thinking it may make more sense to just find an insurer willing to do a more customized policy covering multiple properties.

There is a spreadsheet you can download and compare the various heating fuel sources available to you:http://www.eia.gov/neic/experts/heatcalc.xlsOther energy savings calculators can be found here:http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/technologies/eep_eccalculators.htmlhttp://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/information/access_tools.html

My family has a townhome in the energy corridor really close to several major multinational oil and gas companies in addition to multinational engineering companies.

Hello, hello, hello...can you all feel my energy?
