I would like to start incorporating some nice design into rehabs to enhance the appeal and begin to focus on wholesaling.My interests outside of real estate include rare/quircky automobiles, disc golf (can't play actual golf), and fun runs and marathons.I look forward to working with all of you to make this forum as informative and helpful as possible, and will definitely do my part whenever possible.

I have access to all the MLS listings, what houses have sold for in the area etc etc.Im still debating getting my licence, I guess ill see how things play out

If this is a long term, speculation play for a higher price in the future, that's fine.

whenever you start 'playing' with the numbers to 'try' to make it work, you'll always end up losing sorry for not reading the rest of the post, I just want to tell you what I think about the first 2 paragraphs.Edit: Jon below me brought up a wonderful point!

If you end up living on-base, then you'd have to drop around 20% into an investment property, but if you did the REFI, you should have plenty to play with under the right circumstances.

(someone interested in working the deal would be ideal)

Broker relationships are good too, but ideally I'd like to get to the sellers before they hit the market.

I deal with seller financing and create and trade in mortgage notes every day in my business and, I have not seen anyone that will table fund green real estate notes in todays market.

I value everyone's opinion and use it wisely... now my playful response...

I brought up the point that the reduction in price after I submitted my offer was very suspicious and he said that it is simply a game that the listing agent is playing to show that the price he got is much higher than listing so he will get more listings from the bank.
