Max, didn't mean having a license would help, what you're trying to do in wholesale is what Realtors do.

However I have not done a lease option with a realtor before.

For the time being, I work full time, I believe finding a good realtor is my first objective.Btw thanks for the link to the spread sheets.To anyone else I began listening to podcast yesterday and began with episode 51 I believe, has to do with multi families.

Better trust your realtor though because if you are not using your own eyes you might not be seeing the entire picture.

Living in northern Indiana I know that I was told by a realtor that, even though our downstairs bedroom(house built in 1961 loooooonnng before egress window codes were created) did not have "legal" egress windows, because there were 2 other 'means of exit' to the room (via the laundry which does have a large enough window and the LR is accessed through the bedroom, and through the door to the family room which has both a sliding glass door AND an egress window we could still list it as a 4th bedroom when we sell.

I would connect with a local realtor that works with investors or is an investor themselves and attend local REI meet ups.Plenty of good resources on here as well to learn from.

Touch base w/a few Realtors and I think you'll learn pretty quickly which sections of the city to focus on.

I don't think I am being duped as the realtor checked out.

I e-mailed my realtor to setup an appointment to go inside, and he responded "I'll see what I can do.

That includes four Realtors who sell houses as well as help.
