With the MLS drying up, I am concerned investors/newbies may go to the county sheriff sale to get a deal and bid on a 2nd lien & left holding the bag.

Everything was dry not even a drop of water and we had a lot of rain the last few days.

Also my existing water well may have gone dry because of this commercial well some 50 foot away.

I have no idea if the same type of thing works for wetlands but I looked at a 5 ac. lot that had 3.74 ac. of "dry wash" this type of property is needed when developing land in the surrounding area.  

Do I just dry call well known investors in my area?

Also many of these markets have grown much more competitive as shadow inventory has dried up, so there are additional challenges to those just starting out in a market.

You don’t have room in your budget for any surprises such as dry rot, termites, roof leak or heating/ac.

for sure in the GFC  investors loans went the way of the dodo bird you could not get one.. keep in mind folks on this site did not invest much prior to 2010 when loans started to slowly come back.so yes if we have  global recession again and capital dries up then yes the first thing to go is going to be small investor loans which are more risky than larger type loans with proven operators..

@Garron GibbsIt’s always good to go into the rehab with a clear image of what NEEDS to be done in order for the house to sell/rent such as: Roof, Dry rot issues, mold and so on.

if you don't and your going to own this stuff over decades each of those plans will come into play at some point.. real estate is not a linear line straight up.I was on a Con call last week putting a large financing deal together on a 500 home project. half the call was about plan B and C if the original sales channel dried up..
