I have gone through some great forum discussions on landlord paid utilities (most discussions say run away fast :-).

Fortunately I am pretty handy and can keep costs down.Comps was tough, only three or four sales in the last year, but all for 120K-140K and all smaller homes, I think if I keep it around $120K it should go fast unless I rent it out.

Alison,Did you make the seller a fair cash offer with no contingency with a fast closed or was you trying to put it under contract with the seller without offering the seller a few dollars to show the seller you are serious?

Your level of education, experience, and risk tolerance all factor into how fast or slow you set yourself up to take on that first deal.

Very nice, If only my crew worked that fast!

The one small thing I would do if it were mine would be to rename the 'need help selling' in the top menu to 'Sell your home fast' which emphasizes what you do and matches the verbage used in the bottom of the page.Also, have you considered using a form?

In fact, if you approach regular folks with slick, high polish campaign and you talk really fast, you might come off with "salesman breathe".

The quick buck wholesalers usually get weeded out pretty fast in the Orlando are, because it is a tight knit area and word gets around quick.

Fast-forward… I found out the owner of the house did a bunch of repairs and improvements without getting permits.

If exterior is in bad shape and roof, windows, parking lot, main water line, tree root issues pop up that could add thousands per door to the property.When you use high debt service on vacant properties you want a fast lease up.
