The bank counter both parties $23,900.

As I was driving home from work tonight listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast 143 (which was excellent if you haven't listened yet) @Brandon Turner brought up a very interesting article that just came out on Fortune.com regarding Wall Street's housing bet not paying off.

What would your counter be to someone who says I can only show 3-4?

To end this introduction, I will be driving for dollars tomorrow, I aim to close my first wholesale deal within the next 30 days, I have a gist of what to do, but at the same time completely bewildered.

They hire a 3rd party company (homewisedocs) to handle the document ordering (status letters, condo certs, etc.) which drives the price upward.

Over the next week we’ll finish the kitchen cabinets and counters, replace the electrical fixtures, clean/paint the basement, and start laying flooring.

I will add to what Bill Gulley saidWhen researching an area, look for employers, what are they payingI use wiki.com Look to be near and interstate where a lot of people drive-byMy two brothers live in Utah and it's very sparse

And best part, I'm only a 40 minute drive from Concord! 

I am sure the bank will come back with a counter so I should have enough time to get this all sorted out before any offer would be accepted. 

Even with the two markets here in NC that are an hour apart, I don't want to have to drive back and forth a lot to different attorneys.
