When I lay awake at night trying to release my stress from a banker/computer screen day job, I think about how I will tackle a renovation or repair and it puts me at ease.  

It's certainly not necessary but I think could be beneficial for me at this stage.

My visit to Michael's site, was worth it to me to better understand where he operates, not a waste of my time, I won't follow his technique, but it informed me as to the need to give more information on the technical side, I have no idea how Michael tackles that.I'm more concerned about predatory issues, good faith dealing, if the bacon is cooked properly, not how much sizzle it makes frying. :)       

Make sure that there's enough meat on the bone for your buyer.

BP,I know there's been a bunch of posts on foreclosures and auctions, but the topic really interests me and scares me at the same time.I understand that it's critical to do your due diligence before bidding, but I was wondering if I could get some more people's success/failure stories to see how the process works or has worked, more specifically.For instance I was close to bidding on a couple properties.

I am a wholesaler in the Hampton Roads area, so if you want the off market deals feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] so I can add you to my list.

If we ate more meat I'm sure our bill would be much higher.

If you have cheap income generating properties to sell and know of a lender that may be able to approve me at your state please advice.

He told me that my marginal tax rate is 25% so anything that I distribute is going to cost me at least 35%...and likely more.
