Hello There I'm a Newbie from Toledo, Ohio  I willing learn about REI and been reading the  Bigger Pockets book leaning a lot from it I'm a also hearing impaired and yes I can talk ^_^

You have a healthy approach to this and still have a job you can lean on in the short term.

Rents paid now, for appraisal purposes will lean more to market rates for comparable space, higher rents do increase value over the expected terms remaining.

It would seem that most of the personal effect which drives open rates would be retained because it is still "handwritten" on the envelop and the body itself is "handwritten" (printed font or real).

I need advice on a possible wholesale.I have found a home that the owner needs to sale which was his parent’s home.The house is located 20 minutes east of Asheville NC in the town of Black Mountain.Black Mountain is a growing town with retirees moving into the area.The house is located down the street from a park/lake and about 5 blocks from the golf course.The owner states that the house needs about 30-40K of work to bring it up to code.Here are the numbers on the house:3 bed , 1 bath, 1100 sq feet on a .23 acre lotPer owner tax values is 142K and after repair value of 171K.The 171K after repair value he said was from a local realtor.He has a few quotes from contractors on repair cost that he says is in the 30-40K range.He is asking 75K for the home.I have not been inside the house.Recent sales in the month of September 2014 within a 5 mile radius are as follows based on Zillow2 bed, 1 bath 768 sq feet built in 1900 on .31 acres lot sold for 84K2 bed, 2 bath 912 sq feet built in 1959 on .45 acres lot sold for 195K3 bed, 1 bath 1000 sq feet built in 1919 on .29 acres lot sold for 158KBased on after repair value, if the house is worth 145K based on taxes I’m thinking offer in the range of 45-53K for the property.Here are my numbers based on ARV (145,000 x .70)-50K in repairs =51,500K for selling price.Also the property has an 8K lean on it by BB&T bank.This would be my first wholesale as I have no other experience in real estate other than buying my own home.I do not have an investors list, but will be going to the local real estate meeting next Monday for the first time.Any thoughts, opinions, and advice on what I should do from here are welcome.

No pressure BP, but I sure I will be leaning on all of you a lot to help make that dream come true.

Im leaning toward hitting him with an offer of 70% of arv minus repair estimate and a small cushion. comps show it could sell between 195k-210k fixed up.
