I've been sitting on the sidelines too long, it's time to contribute!

I've stopped rehab work on it since the city won't give permits to finish the interior back to a 5-unit because of the zoning and the work is going to cost a lot more than anticipated so the property is sitting gutted and just a cash drain.

I'm currently in talks with a homeowner who's property sits on 24 acres - 21 of those acres are undeveloped and used for hunting and fishing (a stocked pond is on the property).I'd appreciate any insight you have based on your experience with the land mentioned in your original post.Thanks,Nikki

Would you rather have your Realtor sitting by to personally answer your calls or be out working? 

.  :-)@Wayne Brooks said ...The chances of you finding a buyer for a higher price than could be gotten off of MLS is slim, unless you have some ignorant buyers.In the last two month I sold five houses wholesale to three rehabbers, one of the rehabbers is the most successful rehabber I know locally, another rehabber that I sold three properties to sits on the board of the local reia group and runs a mentoring program for new people, another is one of my former project managers who is on his own now, he buys all his deals from me. 

I was recently notified that $4500 is sitting in escrow and was never claimed by the contractor who performed the sewer lateral back in 2008. 

So I'm sitting in bed at 7:30am just after coming back from placing my first 20 bandit signs!

Don't be greedy with your wholesale fees...leave "meat on the bone" for the investor who will be assuming all the risk.And, you don't need tons of buyers. 

I would expect you can bet on pretty good appreciation in the next 5 years if your place has good bones.  

it would make it much easier and I could offer on multiple properties in a much smaller amount of time. this way i wouldnt have to sit down with the sellers agent and go through the motions since my offers I anticipate will be more of a numbers game (allot of offers before one lands)
