After spending that time talking about how it happened and how to spot it, it’s time to go into detail about how I and others were able to take advantage of it.As a quick recap on how gentrification happened in west Oakland, the tech industry grew like crazy in San Francisco, pushed out artists into Oakland.

Hi All, I have found multiple threads on here regarding wholesaling a short sale property but a lot of them seem to have mixed reviews whether this is legal or not and most are those who are doing it are outside the state of New Jersey, which doesn't exactly answer my questions/concerns as it seems all states have different laws.

@Zach SchwarzmillerYou can get a cement mix (premix or dry) specifically for patching holes in slabs and walls.  

Don't do 38th unless you are very sure of what you're doing in that area - like around the Ivy Tech building maybe.

What's the unit mix?

I call the company, they try to say it's a browser issue(unfortunately it happens on multiple different browsers/computers) and then say a senior tech will call back after looking into it. nothing happens.Their customer service is crap.

@Bryan Christopher What if you did as @Tiger M. mentioned, but put a much larger down payment into the mix?  

I have breakeven occupancy with multiple mix of national and mom and pop tenants versus if a single NNN building goes dark you are going negative paying the mortgage until you get filled again.     

So I have a mixed strategy. 

This area has a mix of great rental condos which I am intimately familiar with and lots of SFHs, which I am not totally sure how many are rehabs vs. turn key condition.After nearly through the first mailing, here are the results:1.83% response rate (person called me). 0.17% positive response rate (seller wanted to sell). 2.8% Return to Seller.Does that RTS seem high to you guys?
