@Marc Maser - why are you targeting pre-foreclosure properties and what list are you using to identify them as pre-foreclosures?

This google docs sheet provides a list of pass/fail rates for different courses, but I figured someone here might have input if any of them are better suited for investors.https://docs.google.com/document/d/16a8x8_N4aO6HVv...Thanks!

So you not have a list of buyers to send your properties to, or do you have properties and buyers, but none of them are buying?

I came across a property listed in Volusia County for 125 (comps are $275k) that was basically half way done, just need flooring it looked like.

Listing with and trusting a retail agent for 3%?

Will bump me above my desired $3K/month housing allowanceBring in a partner to "buy out" part of my equity in the existing home, which presents a whole separate list of questions:What should the terms look like?

The Woolfords would keep a list of creditworthy customers and compile their findings, which they would then sell.

Unless you need to sell fast, you'll typically get more money listing with an agent (even after commissions).

Lease documents in order.. and policy, house rules written in place..now is the time to have it all set so you don't have to add amendments later.When posting your ad be specific,, not vague,, if you only want 1 person,, then list 1 br apartment occupancy limit 1 person,, list your rent criteria.. this is pre screening your tenant, and go over it again when they set an appointment up so your not wasting your time.. 

Normally when I have a tenant that I choose not to charge (trying to avoid drama, not enough to worry with, unsure of true cost, choosing not to replace right away), I normally list those out at the bottom in the comments section so that they and any lawyers or judges who get involved later know that leniency was granted.
