By no means, dont take it as " I'm rushing ", I have a strict budget, and will be followed.

Property taxes are used to confiscate wealth to pay for items where there are laws that MANDATE balanced budgets.

I know it's a little stressful when your first project runs over-budget and over-schedule (but you know, they almost always do one or the other, if not both).We finished up one last month, we're wrapping up another in about 2-3 weeks, and we've been actively looking for our next project.Like you said, it's so rewarding to turn a "dump" into a "dream home."

As a wholesaler with a marketing budget, you won't make any money with a $1,000-2,000 margin on your properties.

I've always dreamed of owing a house, and finally have the opportunity, but with a really tight budget.

Remember, people care about "what's in it for me" so stress the benefits of working with you, and the fact you're wholesaling will pale into insignificance.My answer to your second question is, market the property in any and every way imaginable, limited only by your budget.

I write down addresses or just turn on my laptop while in the truck and see what I can find out.

I am still going to be under my 3K budget and it will be done well before my self imposed deadline of one month, but remember when buying a HUD home or any home that hasn't been lived in for a while, no matter how good of a inspection you do, there are going to be little things that pop up that will cut into your profit.

Are they magically off budget?

A friend of mine that makes $300,000 a year, works at home (no overhead), has awesome cars, trucks, bikes, 4,500sqft home with 3 bay garage, always vacationing, partying and he was always depressed.
