Your best bet in most cases is to befriend a Realtor and get comps of what's currently available and what has rented over the past 12 months.

If not a 15 year mortgage might be a better bet because you have to factor in selling costs.

I pull FSBO ads off the web use an online service to do my call blast.People who have called back so far don't seem to be the motivated sellers.

I imagine for a decent sized house that's pretty expensive...but I bet buyers love it.

I'd bet you'd let anyone say nasty things for you if they offered to pay you $5000 to do so.Not much different is it when you realize that you are getting paid to hear those things, when you close the deal.

You will run into this with commercial lenders to wanting to work on the larger deals which is why I think the local bank is your best bet.

Now is a great time to have a pocket little side bet of silver gold bullion to add to your real estate.

If the borrower has a history of rehabbing and re-selling then (s)he is probably a safe bet.

And to resolve your problems of clients backing out of your deals make sure you have a backup or two so if one falls to the way side you have two others waiting on that same deal.As you take this journey in real estate don't just study real estate become a student of marketing and sales and do that better than the other wholesailers in your area and I bet you will have buyers blowing up your phone.

I am completely shocked how Brian's situation mirrors mine identically.The job, that friggin cubicle, the not knowing how to start even when some guru's video package I paid 500 dollars for breaks it down "step by step", something obviously is missing.I posted my own posts begging for clarity and for guidance, but I realized (and I bet everyone that replied too) that the more replies I got the more questions sprouted.I wanted a list of steps:"go to godaddy, and by a domain name""walk to your car, open the door, get in and drive to xxx st and post a flyer there... and there.. and there"."
