Basically, an alternative to simply searching for properties by location.

Hi all,I will try to cut through the fluff and get right to it. 

You will have a boss, and tasks to perform.However if your motivation is to simply make a good income, the team route can offer that quicker, as you will be piggybacking off of their reputation and in place marketing efforts.

A bad wholesaler will lock up the property,  and simply hopes someone might be interested.Ask him to be honest.  

it simply implies that one buys the property and prays that it will appreciate(A bit of humor here)

Laying tile is a bit of an art form.Irregular patterns can increase the cost because they require more cuts, thus more time and materials.If you do these things, the floor should last a very long time.

The one part that I'm a little confused on is if i barrow the money to make my first purchase wouldn't that cut in to my profit a lot if i want to use it for a rental property?? 

If this is the extent of the damage, and there is no underlying/ongoing problem, then cutting out the loose material and spackling should be sufficient (and painted of course).

To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

@Bill Hinshaw One way I cut a lot of costs is by shopping at a place we have in Quincy that is an investor's paradise.
