My question for this goes into the fact that the selling of Multi Family units do not sell as frequently as Single Family Units due to volume.

Do you have to meet in person frequently?  

Also, does this create too frequent of turnover on the unit?

I think that @Mike H. does bring some very good points to the table, and knows his market quite well, but I just can't get over my gut feeling that we are back to the same old tricks as before, but they are better hidden for longer, thus, the next bubble is coming.  

I use it frequently and I'll be honest, it's not for the faint of heart.What you have to keep in mind is that they are in it for a profit, and they don't know a whole lot about the properties.

Then as a realtor find them a new, nicer place to move to using $X.Fix the property for $Y, list it on MLS with you as the realtor, and sell for $Z in such and such timelineForm a partnership with them whereby you invest the $Y funds and effort to fix the property and then you sell for $Z and split the profits ($Z-$X-$Y).Fix the property for $Y and don't sellDo nothing, and live with the disrepair until the house falls apartAnother hint is to figure out what the seller ultimately needs and wants, and structure the offer(s) to give them what they want/need and still fit within your parameters to create a real, honest-to-goodness win-win, by each of your own definitions of "win".Ultimately, the thing that it sounds like is bothering you and your wife may be that you would be "tricking" the seller by being less than honest and creating a win-lose scenario ... it is GOOD to think through these things ahead of time, and then think though it further to design a business model & systems that ensures that this does not happen and that you can still find deals ... this is harder to do in the short term, but more rewarding both personally and financially in the long term.

Wholesale, New Jersey, South Florida, Short Sale, Hot market...Fellow Wholesalers what tricks are you using to get Short Sales approved in competitive markets?

There is a lot of competition out there and they have been doing it for a lot longer than we have, so the trick is to offer something different.

I grew up in Tulsa, OK, and still visit my mother there frequently, so I am looking for rental properties in that market. 

Is there another way I can contact you when the fall hits or do you check this site frequently?
