Who in my city would I need to contact to get the ball rolling on this?

I finally have the ball moving with real estate and it has always been my goal to take fix and flip profits, and any other profits from RE, to turn them into rentals.

Busy agents don't like low ball offers that the bank will never take.

We have been successful with the sfr's but this is a whole different ball game.Ex.LOIPurchase Agreement?

I have a feeling the guy is just trying to low ball me into making no money off of this deal, or he may be telling the truth.This is a wholesale dealARV = 34,500 (at least it's what I see in recent comps excluding tax sales)House under contract for $14,000Repairs = Less than $1000.

Cheap labor, hilarious to watch, and the kids have a blast while getting exercise!

Like exercising, if you don’t know what to do you can quickly become discouraged and quit.

I understand that this is going to take a lot of time and work and I am ready for that.My first question is a realistic ball park estimate of how much money I should have in my pocket for my first investment.

I own a duplex and one of the tenants has a punching bag stand for exercising in the backyard.

My goal is to have all the "I"s dotted, and "T"s crossed, then not have to exercise them.Whew, I think that is enough for now, thanks all in advance for the advice/thoughts!
