@Scott Carrillo I do that in Cleveland: $1K to find, research and buy a property on Sheriff sale, $500 for repeating clients who I'm managing the property.Rehab usually takes 10% or $2K whichever higher.

I am fresh in the wholesale real estate game and would love pointers, advise, maybe even possibly meet up with local wholesale investors to chat and maybe eventually co-sale.

We've seen some for sale prices on non-flooded houses in the area go up maybe 10% in the past weeks on the premise that they did not flood.I personally think that it's people being greedy and they won't sell for that.

In Oregon, sales at the courthouse mean 100% cash at the time of purchase.  

Otherwise, you may not legally be able to advertise for sale that which you do not own.

We don't just want to make money; want to make a difference in communities that other generations discarded, in favor of bland, car-centric suburbs.  

@Matt Katsaris, it's a big issue if you're refinancing right before a sale and 1031.  

How much of a discount to ARV do foreclosures usually sell for at Colorado Sheriff's sales?

The kids are sick, the car needed repair, pay day comes after the rent is due, etc., etc.

I'd say it is 80%-90% sales and hype and 10% content.
