Hey thanks for the response and yes i am staying on the other side of a side by side duplex and would like to renovate my side and the other side !

I had the opportunity to talk with the owner and he's a great guy, he did his best to make sure I was well taken care of. 

I've wanted to know some tips you guys have on wholesaling and starting young and what I should know before I start.Important question: How can I calculate or give an educated guess on a property's repair cost on zillow 

For the son to qualify for the $250k exclusion, I believe he would most likely need to meet the ownership and use test, meaning he needs to own and live in the home as his primary residence for at least two of the last five years before the sale.

No if potential buyer have given you emd than you are under the assumption this is a serious buyer and will close on the deal but he has only a certain amount of time with his inspection period so if he backs out you still have time to fund another buyer. 

You might get a response to your mailers, but I doubt it.

My leases say I can charge my tenants anytime I do something or pay for something they are responsible for.

In his words, this is away around the due on sale clause that you can run into in a sub - to transaction.My question - if the seller puts the property in a trust, will this avoid the potential of a due on sale clause?

Based on your responses, I can give more input. 

Any help or tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
