I have and will continue to do my due diligence on prospective properties to make sure there is a profit even if the unexpected (which I'm sure will happen) comes around.

None of this "go to school and get good grades, and get a good job bulls***" any way enough said.Becasue if they did who would work for the fortune 500 compaines who would produce the labor they profit from?

If a project has a profit in it, I will listen even if it is in China.

I think it's important to know the value of a property and what margin of profit you need to make and then to make offers on the properties that make the best sense for you within the established parameters.The number of offers you make isn't nearly as important as the quality of them and whether you get responses or not.

Basically your buying wholesale trying to sell retail for a profit. but in reality your competing with the wholesale companys themselves selling them for the same price they selled it to you at.

If you get a good enough deal on it and could even make a decent profit selling it at 70-75% of FMV, then you could probably sell it before you even close on your contract.

I'm not much of a rehabber, but I did enjoy Buy it, fix it, sell it : profit!

So 10 k on holdover, 10k on realtors to sell fast...and then I'm down to 20k profit....and guess what?

Profit Proformas, using the above info you create a guessitmate of what you could potentially make on this deal.These are the "basic 10" if you will ;) I would only expect a birddog to make it to #7.PS. when asking a realtor about: zoning, hydrology, utilities, and other basic things.

So my question is how much tax will I have to pay on that $200k profit?
