I frequent the county auctions and have multiple real estate licensees who are more than willings to work with me.

The one 2 bed/1 bath house we have has never been vacant in the 7 years we've had it, but it does turn over more frequently than our others that are 3 bed/2 bath.

I think a less frequently use for OPM is to provide the down payment/equity on the deal and the deal is then split between the lender and the operator according to the agreed upon returns.

@Yenisel AvilaThe licensed/unlicensed question is probably one of the most frequent questions I see in regards to wholesaling.

If you include door-knocking, I can assure you that it works.Here are the issues, as I see them:All sales and marketing, including useing the telephone, are merely media; a substitute for nose-to-nose, toes-to-toes direct to person selling.Strategies like direct response advertising such as mail, requires the recipient to read an envelope or card, perhaps open a letter, make snap decision as to their interest, and respond by calling (offline) or going to a website or squeeze page or similar action.People who are difficult to find (skipped, frequent movers, etc.) are less likely to be reached by mail, let alone respond.

A question I get asked frequently is if it’s beneficial to do a cost segregation study on a single family home.
