Terry Evans it looks as if you've done your due diligence and targeted specific types of properties with a set number of equity & profit. I don't think anyone can say that you're missing anything as you have your plan in place and you've zoomed in on specific properties. You have follow up in place and all. One thing I could think of is what's your plan when the calls start rolling in? Do you have someone in place to handle the calls? Do they have a script or are you sending them to a voicemail service? If so are you calling back within 15 minutes? Do you have "boots on the ground" to view the properties within hours of the call?

Good question John S. & great answer Jeff Copeland for these are key in protecting your business reputation and self worth since wholesaling gets a bad rep because of bad representives!!! So in essence you should waste no time getting your contract to escrow. It also seems to have a leg up if you already have a buyers list in place with their know criteria. Thanks guys

Ok @Dana Dunford but being that your renting to college students you wouldn't at least provide internet and bump up the cost a tad? It would be divided by 3 so the #'s wouldn't look overwhelming. Also you don't believe in "sizzle features" to help selling a property? Or just not internet 

Jon S. Well speaking as a tenant/future landlord I would think you would NEED internet/basic cable to compete with other complexes in the area. Also this is "YOUR" property and you would need to compete with others in that area with "better" reasons to rent from them than you. This is your "sizzle feature" that little touch that takes you over the top at a small cost. John Van Uytven Dana Hoffmann why would you consider it a "headache" to fix things your suppose to or things that brought tenants to YOUR complex in the first place? This is YOUR property why not reciprocate? I'm sure you want the rent but don't want to do anything else that could potentially turn the relationship sour. With the world we're living in now being so technological & the fact that your renting to college students makes all the sense to AT LEAST have internet as YOUR amenity. I don't get how homeowners want the checks/rent but don't want any of the things that come with it. If the internet does go out, get it fixed & charge it to "the cost of doing business". I think it's a must. Just my two cents

I just tried to pulled it up and nothing came up. I would love to join this group & attend meetings. Even after adding the forward slash before .com nothing was found

I was first thinking about the "Flint" situation but it seems they're just being difficult. I wouldn't address the emails

I appreciate everyone input I will definately give them their options & report back what happens. Friday is the last straw so we will see. Have a great day BP'ers

It is about good will & for my friends sake I hope the landlord will follow thru. Some work to find the leak has begun but beyond that not much. I've heard nothing of PM or landlord offering to put them up in a hotel or comparable accommodations. They're being reasonable about it and letting the week go by hoping by Friday, some course of action will be taken. Thanks for your input

This is more about good will than liability.

In Texas, the landlord does have 48 hours to restore hot water after notification, but the property code talks about reasonable efforts to make repairs and restore the property.  I think it allows 72 hours just to respond, and whatever reasonable means is up to interpretation I guess depending on the scope of the effort. All this is of course, tenant complaints aside....

As anyone who's ever tried to do major work with a resident in place can tell you, I personally think the best thing is to put them up for a day or two and then beat on the contractor to get it done.
