I would suggest doing both.Some of the basics:#1 Keep accurate records and receipts of every penny in and out.

I would suggest being vague about the location, names and such but the more accurate numbers we have for the property the better.Best!

More accurately, you’ve been hard on life. 5 kids and a divorce before 29 mixed with no higher education is a recipe for financial disaster.

@Brandon Hobbs, I agree with your assessment that urban areas will be impacted more than suburban and rural areas which is good for me as I operate primarily in secondary and, more accurately, tertiary markets:) I also tend to think that this niche will have a far greater effect on the moving industry than the self storage industry. 

Like I've said before, in todays market I haven't seen an accurately underwritten market deal that you nets $400+/month.

And not all of these services are created equal, as you never know how accurate or up-to-date their databases are.

Unfortunately most MLS sellers are just looking for the highest offer and there are always investors willing to gamble and retail buyers not looking to make a profit.

The properties I was sent not only didn't meet my criteria, but I found out they were actually recently expired MLS listings that had been marked up ~$15k from their previous list price that they failed to sell for, and the comps they sent were not even close to being accurate, so it all seemed very shady actually. 

His numbers he gave me seem fairly accurate and of course my numbers are giving me a cushion because I always feel a safety net is important.He has a property listed for 155k, I had someone go and inspect the house with me, and while I was in the attic checking the roof out for leaks the person I had with me asked pricing and the wholesaler said 151k is as low as he could go.

$500 isn't worth the gamble of turning somebody away due to something you can't control (i.e., your neighbor's yard).
