I have also been driving for dollars in my community and intend to reach out to the owners.

A few months ago I laughed when bidding was up to $40,000-ish for a property where the house burned down ... google maps still showed the house but these bidders didn’t bother to even drive by the property in person; the lot wasn’t worth $40k.

While Seattle is expensive, Spokane and even Tacoma and Olympia are much more affordable, I'd probably look for something within driving distance first. 

Hello BP this is my second post the first one was crazy I do and don’t recommend reading it but I do want this one a little more structured.This post was created to invite novice and experienced wholesalers to kinda learn from, meet up and drive for dollars and see firsthand how to close deals.

So I was driving around a local community and I saw a pretty banged up house, looked like no ones been living there for quite a few years.

@Colton Boyer What is really driving job growth and population growth in Kansas City is a highly educated workforce. (34.3% of the population has a 4 year degree or higher which is above the national average), the business incubators that are stimulating start ups and the low cost of living. 

My wife found it while driving around town.

At the same time, I saw little meat on the bone and it would be tough to drive NOI higher.  

Along with those I put banking apps, google drive, some work apps (to keep me posted on open OT) and LetGo (to sell unused items throughout the house).

You must choose to come here or drive by and therefore choose to stay.
