Account Closed I would say [ARV * 70% - repairs - your fee] is a good place to start but every market is different and you really need to either talk to someone experienced in your specific market or jump in and feel things out for yourself and adjust accordingly.

Listening to the BP podcasts, it seems like a lot of successful, experienced investors are now offering opportunities to put money into their deals or funds.

I have an experienced property manager who manages my other properties and believe we could be effective with this property. 

Actually, I am frequently surprised when buyers I'm working with have difficulty seeing past the paint color.  

As a wholesaler, why dont you offer a property to an experienced flipper as part of a joint venture.

So I can call customer service and in 3 minutes get a complete verbal date down on the phone.. it helps in real time when your working foreclosure stuff.Also any agent can call customer service and get copy of last recorded deed the tax info zoning etc.. sent over in a matter of minutes... out east when its kind of backwards form what I have experienced were you open an order and they don't order title to the end as you have to actually pay an abstractor to go to the courthouse I guess and physically pull data... so this leads to title issues at the end of the transaction were out here we have title within as I said 72 hours max of opening the order so you know up front if you have an issue and you have the whole contract period to work on it if need be.

On the other hand if an experienced investor OR agent get it under a purchase and sale agreement, the seller is getting what they want.  

I also am not experienced enough to feel confident in using the profits from the sale in finding more good deals quickly that can net more.

I am an owner/landlord of several properties in a market which has been experiencing between 1-2% vacancies for a few years now.
