It is not in my nature to go out and give bad reviews, but I feel obligated to warn people about a group based in SoCal who sell rehabbed and rented properties in Alabama.

People still vacation right now, but will they vacation at 2019 occupancies the next 2 years?

It will get you in touch with some people, but definitely can't be counted on.....especially for more distressed assets/people.  

Some people build their own excel calculators.

I feel like it's safe to assume that when most people see the letter in the mail it just goes straight in the trash anyway. 

Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

Finding a deal that you can get some of your money back can probably be done as people are still flipping houses so there is definitely spread between the fixer purchase prices and ARV. 

Thank you in advance - so many knowledgeable people here and I've learned so much from the forum!

@John Dehn I like your idea of offering it as a closing credit, even if you aren't responsible for the charges, if you want them to buy the property that could be a good incentive to move forward with the purchase, it may seem insignificant relative to the purchase price, but small psychological things like that can have an impact on people's decision making. 

Most people who are completing rehab want to pull based on the value they have added to the property.
