Fannie Mae homes often come occupied, which will prevent interior access until after closing and evicting the occupants.Many vacant properties will be missing plumbing and wiring.

Thank you @Bob B.Nathan G. all for the input. 

@Daniel Ortiz I agree with @Jake Thomas... you get to a point where your W2 job prevents you from doing business.

I will be doing that, I just wanted to prescreen the name before I called him in case there were anything glaring that would prevent me from wasting my time.

I'm not sure if you are a beginner or not but my thought process was always that if this evolved into a sustainable business venture for myself, it would only solve or prevent problems from occurring the sooner I created a 'bulletproof' lease.Start gathering clauses from other landlord's leases and compile them into a well thought out list and take them to a local realtor that also actively invests in real estate.

Primarily that there isn't enough time for that to prevent foreclosure.Do you have other suggestions?

If I feel wholesaling becomes a legal issue that prevents me from doing deals, I will certainly put all my efforts into getting a real estate license.

We are big fans of doing it right the first time/preventative maintenance but are wondering if this is common practice among other investors?

If I froze my student loans her income alone would just about cover all our expenses and I keep a 6 months emergency fund just the same.. so bankruptcy would have to come with extremely hard times that I may not have been able to prevent either way if it gets that bad

Use BP as a tool to find other investors, mentors, even agents and lenders that can give you advice and prevent you from making the same mistakes as others.
