This recent flip I posted about yesterday in San Antonio showed me how really important it is to work with experienced people who nail the rehab costs.

These are all legal tools to help seller sell that has a difficulty with low equity positionsNow if it's not low a equity but it's middle equity like $400,000 house $200,000 equity, most sellers will just pay the cost to sell which are about 10 to 12% of the value of the house when you include everything commissions closing costs sellers concessions and holding costs while it's being soldOver a third of houses out there or free and clear with no mortgages and this presents an opportunity to let the sellers know that if it is free and clear where they can do an installment sale and use their house as a retirement asset with no due on sale risk, own a private mortgage, get a cash flow like an annuity payment, and the cash flow can survive ther death and leave it for their kids or charity

The main point is that you can sift thru hundreds of blogs,videos ,how to,s and have plenty of community members ,from the new to some very experienced and successful members You can have your deals analyzed, legal questions answered,wholesaling,marketing almost any topic that you can think of. 

A necessary read for those of us teetering on the brink of having to make the same tough decision that as you, while having the added difficulty of respectfully disagreeing with your father to go with your heart and chase your passion! 

These are merely suggestions , since i having started working it per say. re: the hang ups unless you want to call and directly say something like " I see i've missed your call do you have a house to sell" i would simply send another letter and maybe an experienced wholesaler can chime in here but I don't think you should send the same letter.As for the problem of not closing i guess you can chalk it up to learn curve. it's a numbers game (or so i'm told) so keep trucking

Instead, I think I'd need a really experienced eviction lawyer to deal with this tenant. 

I'd prefer a go getter over someone super experienced.

Then work on studying what you want to focus on for your future investments and start studying everything about it and surround yourself with people who are like minded and experienced.

For my first post, I am hoping some of the experienced members here who have achieved this level of success can give me two pieces of advice:1.

Many of their members are experienced wholesalers.
