@Account Closed only you can decide what you have to offer in return for their time.
One example would be, to give your cash buyer first look and the first right of refusal on buying the house from you in exchange for him helping you estimate repairs. Just a thought. You have to decide what makes most sense for you in your situation.
Maybe you pay a GC for an estimate? Again, this may or may not make sense based on your current financial situation.

@Account Closed estimating repairs is the most challenging aspect of the business. Network with other investors in your area, and offer them something in return for helping you estimate repairs.

First and foremost, congratulations on pulling the trigger and taking action. Most people never have the courage to get started investing. Yes, you could have done much better by utilizing the strategies others in this forum have recommended. However, there is still a ton of value gained by applying what you learned from this purchase.
Are you limiting yourself to purchasing in Johnson county? There are huge returns to be had all over Indianapolis, even inside the loop.

@Shawn Holsapple been a while since I've been in the forums. Busy finding deals.
Say you are buying the house on a Lease Option and then assigning that LO to a tenant buyer are you still putting the property in a land trust and having the trustee assign their interest to you or is this not necessary when assigning a LO to a tenant buyer?
