I will be sure to keep you updated through the process!

Hopefully that would minimize your calls.  

I know it's a time consuming process but it's all I have to work with as of now and gives me a good estimate.Looking forward to seeing other's responses!

If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process. 

However, as @Andres Verney suggested, if you get a percentage off of other people's rentals, and roll that into your own, that could help you on your way and allow you to minimize the expenses on your own rentals.

Here at Carrot we see about 30k real estate investing leads a month come in from our clients 100% online so it's been cool seeing the process that is working for people.

:)This house is in Birmingham, AL and I am trying to wholesale the propertyThis house is listed with a realtor on the MLS for $79kARV is about $75k and minimal updates / repairs are necessaryThere is $68k remaining on the loan balance, but the seller is behind a few months on the payments and might have to short sale it to the bank (does this even make sense, I'm not entirely clear how short sales work?)

I have a question about a situation where a renter has moved out during the close process.

At this point, I do not trust the seller's agent when she said the tenant would move out because he is in the process of closing on a house.
