I had lengthy interviews with the investigator and you simply cant advertise property you don't own.. or do deals for the expectation of compensation in our state.. so you cant make these blanket statements.. at least to these beginners on BP.. who you know the definition of wholesaling 99% of the time is to simply make assignment fee's IE commissions..   

In our initial investigation we determined that we didn't want to invest locally since we live in a economically depressed area with limited employers, so we did the easiest thing and bought a turn-key property in Birmingham.

During my investigation, I learned that the zoning had changed and you are no longer allowed to bring in new homes, even if the old ones were destroyed.  

I have hired private investigators as well to find people.

However, did you investigate if this is common in the area? 

Please investigate further before you put your own capital up.

I'll have to investigate that for myself.

I will keep you posted how it turns out and investigate some of your suggestions.Cheers,Brian

First, my employer caught wind of my BP podcast interview and internally investigated if they could fire me.

Try to investigate and perhaps popping sound from loose floors at night(screw subfloor not use nails).
