@Steve SnyderIt is important that your client first understands the rules and regulations before he or she opens a self-directed IRA or even an IRA LLC.

For instance, one house we are considering has a swamp AC unit that is less than three years old. 2) PLUMBING - What are some red flags when it comes to plumbing?

do not let a contractor get yayou need someone licensed bonded and insured if you allow a handy man do the work and or you do the work and something goes bad you will be liablemake sure you find the above get all the permits that are required and save yourself a lot of heartbreakthere are to many stories to list from this forum alone of shady contractors and the owner flipping the bill or even loosing the propertyyoull find the right person for the jobcheck angies list or home adviser to get a foot in to see whos out thereyou could also go to your local lumber yard or plumbing warehouse and see if you could find a referral for a contractorenjoy

I'm making my second ever offer on a property tomorrow and would like to hear from pro wholesalers, what are some things you say to sellers to absolutely get the contract signed. the property has good curb appeal great block, needs some work on the roof, plumbing, and electrical, floors, and updated kitchen, and windows.

And ugly 80's places are ripe for cosmetic makeover without plumbing, electric, structural (generally speaking).  

Only the foundation, electrical and plumbing was sub out.

Factoring in 17yr roof, 25yr water heater, plumbing and electrical and original windows.I've been in this situation before when the seller didn't want to sell at my price only to find they did to another buyer-flipper months later for much less.

I think there's a few people that you should study and avoid some noise@Ken Rishel Mobile homes regulation@John Fedro Mobile home space marketing@Jay Hinrichs transactional funding flipping@J Scott read everything is written and buys books on BiggerPockets on Wholesaling flipping, don't ask wholesaling  questions on these forums until you've read everything he's written and read his flipping book and his renovation costing bookYou could read my BP blog on seller financing and joint ventures home sellers, money partners, private IRA lenders, and other creative ideasDodd Frank and safe act are not the easiest laws to understand and I highly recommend that you use a registered mortgage loan originatorLastly buy the real estate agent books in your state and know the information. 

Looking to have electrical, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms, possibly windows and roofs as well.  

Every property was a lesson about roofing/landlording/architecture/plumbing..
