What is the best bet...let me know your thoughts please.

Their zestimates as they call it are way off thousands to tens of thousands and should not be used to truly evaluate a properties value.If you are wholesaling and want the ARV your best bet is an investor friendly agent who can give you recent sold comps in the area of the property you're trying to wholesale.

I’d be willing to bet his workers bolt as soon as the economy improves.

I'm pretty sure we can get the price down to where is would be profitable for one home, but we have a really modern design available that would fit perfectly on a 40' wide lot.Would our best bet be to get a real estate attorney in that county that specializes in zoning?

If you want to buy a land contract property that is in default, then you would have to payoff the land contract through a purchase agreement.If you are looking for a list of pre-foreclosure properties which have bank mortgages, your best bet is to go down to the county offices and get a list of properties that have a recorded NOD (Notice of Default).

Scott, Your best bet for getting started is to partner up with an experienced rehabber and fund a deal with them for 50% of their profit.

If you need funds for rehab, finding a hard money lender in your area or contacting several commercial lenders will be your best bet.  

No one ever went broke protecting their principle and getting a double digit return. 

@Lisa Holloway  I think it really depends on what you want out of RE.If your just going to be a buy and hold you can basically do that one your own there is no mystery to buying rentals.. a really good RE broker will be all you need to help you, along with a decent lender.I think the latest craze is flipping ... either wholesaling or fix and flipping .. this is what is on TV and this is what get glamorized...And of course its probably just a tad glossed over that anyone can do this.. when in fact not everyone can.. just like not everyone can be a doctor or attorney or own a McDonalds etc etc.But are there rag to rich's stories from those that maxed out credit cards and made it .. you bet there are .. are there those that maxed out the credit card went home worked on it a few hours got some rejection and quit  you bet there is.I have seen it in the RE brokerage business.. the last 40 years.. this is a very tough business and it takes hard work determination and if your going to be in the flipping business usually some capital.And then many people have connections they can get private money they have deep pocketed family that will help them.. etc etc.And if I look at my 41 years in the industry I have paid far more than 40k for education licensing continuing ed.. travel to conferences etc. you have to invest in yourself and in your business.. there is only so many that can do this by reading books and on line and spend zero outside dollars to be successfulJust look at all the wanna bee wholesalers who run out there and spend thousands on direct mail when they have never taken one class in how to sell .. and really don't know how to close or what to do with the leads.. a good program up front would probably help many of those that flame out.. thinking it does not work.At the end of the day I personally believe you MUST spend some money on your education and further your business's .Look at top producing RE agents.. they have radio spots Bill boards with their pretty picture up there. all sorts of other paid advertising...
