Walk around with contractors and inspectors, or pay someone to estimate a whole house and all the little things and use that as you walk around to judge repairs.

You ever thought about wholesaling in my opinion is much easier and a great place to start.

You need to get tax advice from an accountant. I would think though that it would be a write off though.

That’s really a high min loan are you sure that’s not for commercial. I would seek out private funds.

Good luck. They are usually so swamped with stacks of files.

The mls will most likely be your best bet. Or you can send out really nice letters to other residents in the neighborhood asking them for a referral in return for a fee, just get a little creative.

None in my opinion are as safe as wholesaling. My suggestion is hit wholesaling hard and you will make a ton of money no need to look at other avenues they will just distract you and take up your time. You will make the most money being focused. You can make as much money as you want wholesaling. Many investors make as much as a million dollars a year wholesaling.

It sounds like a personal preference. I have gone both ways. Tenants like that will never learn.

Well you won't finance your deal if you Flip(wholesale it) you would either assign the deal or double close. There is no need to finance it. If you plan to close on it and then fix it up you may have to but this is not necessary. If you need to fund a deal for some reason you have 4 options. You buy it conventionally with a loan or through a private lender, hard money lender, or have someone owner finance you.

This is extremely common and would be a good way to start.
