I doubt you could find a flip candidate in the Bay Area on MLS, unless it's a demo/rebuild.Most rehabbers use wholesalers who have creative methods for finding the diamonds in the rough.

The BP community has a lot of information about various marketing methods.

All these methods may be time consuming but just food for thought!

But the way were looking at it, and as you can see, this would be a very nice note spread that we'd d like to pull off - with a double closing or another method, in lieu of just an upfront assignment fee and be finished with it scenario.Is there a way of doing it?

At least not for laypeople like me.By the way, I only used Flickr because that's what this post suggested:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/25/topics/78596-has-the-method-of-uploading-photos-changed

I have definitely seen a difference in the calls with both methods.

I am currently finding off market properties in Lakeland and Polk county so if you're able to do the Brrrr method or you have access to quick cash I can send you properties when I get them.

It's still above ARV or maybe in line but then to your point and calc methods, it seems abnormal to buy above or in line with ARV.

It is a method to avoid the lender calling the note due, but I have not yet seen that occur.

I have learned that this is a way that most of the "gurus" got their start and it is a creative method to use when we don't have much start-up cash or credit.During our researching and learning process, I realized that most of the questions I've had have been answered on BiggerPockets - which is what brought me here!
