-I like JV'ing with home sellers that have "minor rehabs" as in Granny houses, updating kitchen and bathrooms, buying on terms, and quickly reselling for a JV fee, getting the home seller more money than the 65% of ARV less costs.

Needs $20K for new kitchen and updated bathrooms.Solution:1.

Is the kitchen up to date?  

Projects on my list include:Re-staining hardwood floors & kitchen cabinetsInstalling tile back-splash in kitchenChanging master half bath to a full bathUpdating fireplacesPlease send PM or email me.

They usually don't lend to first timers but you never know.

That's the list I'm mailing out to.Also, the whole house needs new carpet, new appliances, a chimney repair, a few electrical switch replacements and new drywall on one side of the kitchen.

Bought property for $34,000, previous sale $95,000, needed minor repairs, paint and cleaning, rent $1,250, already had new gas furnace, new baths, new kitchen, Pella windows, appliances, floor coverings, off street parking, and deck.#3. 

But that only occurs at the main meetings; the satellite meetings are pitchless :-)But any REAPS member can get you in for free on one of the main meetings.REIAWA generally tends to be more expensive (and they don't give a free guest pass for first-timers either), but what I like most about them is their Saturday classes.Both have their pros and cons, so I do suggest you checking them both out (and their calendars) to see which one you like better.

It has total of 16 rooms, with only some having private kitchen and baths.

I am interested in buying REO or mortgage-able properties outside of the 465 loop that need minor rehabs such as paint and floor coverings, maybe new kitchen cabs.
