Share a success or horror story!

Thats not how the saying goes but it is close much success to you.

Then they lay awake at night when they can't get a property rented, have unrealistic expectations at the start, and think everyone who told them real estate was where the real money is, lied to them. 

I've been very successful in finding, rehabbing, and forcing appreciation in the 3 that I have.

If you can find a turn key place, with tenants already in it and it is already managed, and it cash flows...consider getting a personal loan, using your TSP for a loan, credit card advance etc for the downpayment.....if it cash flows only....Some markets a duplex is 250K, while others it is 129K...20% of 129,000 is not unrealistic using other creative ways to get cash. 

Saw a post a while back about getting leads from attending some estate sales and wanted to see I found anyone has ever had any success or has closed on a wholesale deal from going to an estate sale!

I believe the best way to learn is not only by going out and doing it BUT most importantly listening from peers - as they can share valuable experience and lessons from past success and failures. 

I am the wholesaler and the cash buyer all in one.I'd love to ask the experienced investors and wholesalers out there:What have you had the most success with when marketing for distressed properties?

Making good customer service, a good deal, and your success of the utmost importance to us.

Call around and see what each one offers.For me, I get to know the ins and outs of the property management company I select, and I pay a little more knowing that they have the best resources and credential to make my business a success.
