Who's on first? I wish it was me....

Me - Always loved Real Estate/Architecture. I came into a small inheritance and purchased the home I now live in outright for under $20k out the door. No major repairs needed. I got very lucky.

I was able to retire in my early 50's because of this. I have the time to research finding properties that are sold at great discounts so they don't last long. I am not a wholesaler just a researcher. I want in the game to do deals.

Over the last 3 months I have run across some crazy deals. Most do need major repair and all in all are great deals for the person with the cash.

12 unit for $99k – Guesstimate of about $200k in repairs

28 room convalescent hospital for $78k – Updates cost would

depend on what it is used for. Plumbing, electrical and roof in good condition. Features outdated.

2 level commercial unit $25k.

previously 2 businesses on first level with 2 unit

apartments on second level. Major repairs $125k

3 unit $3k Major repairs $130k

There have been more....

I do have a little cash, great credit, and no income worth mentioning which is why I haven't done anything with the above mentioned properties.

My question is how can I make money bringing these deals to investors and not get lost in the process and walk away with nothing.
