Try the guys that advertise in TheFlyer.com or the Yellow Pages or Angie'sList.com Maybe, someone else can suggest the guy they use, but, an absentee owner wanting a big JOB done and the "contractor" will want at least 50% up front with all kinds of whining and crying about the money needed before the JOB is done and then he does nothing and your out of the money.

Some of those could work as rentals, keep in mind a track builder advertises a base home price and every upgrade is extra.

So the question you are asking is impossible for anyone in this forum to answer unless we knew exactly what his overhead was (truck costs, tool expenses, auto, worker comp, health insurances, rents, advertising, cell phone, marketing collateral, vacation time, credit card fees, accounting, software, office supplies, computer expenses, etc...) to name a few.

I'd be glad to help you out if I could see photos of the property and review your online advertising.

Hi @Henry Montgomery III,One of the problems with Wholesaling is it is against the law in most places to "publicly advertise a house for sale" without being licensed.

I don't make any money from this but my junk/abandoned/unregistered vehicle problem is resolved with a single 30 second phone call to the towing company.

Drawback of Real estate investing it has cycles , and now I believe we on an uptrend. ( nobody knows the top) Even rental income is predictable, repairs and vacancies are unpredictable10%... you know the advertised 10y average for stocks is 7%, most get 5%.. and anyone worth their salt in Real Estate Investing smokes 10% six to ten fold.

Yes, John is right BUT, you are not advertising.  

Sellers often hire a auction company, which advertises the property for sale and typically hosts maybe one open house to show off the home.
