I used to have a sliding scale dependant on what I attached to the contract.

**I have experience in Title examining, so i would provide a short report.
**I was a framer and masons apprentice, basic work estimate outline might be included.
**My friends niece is realtor=full comps
**Digital Pics - Full interior / exterior Pics
U get the idea...

The more you do for the investor the more u can get $$.
It things they will have to do eventually anyway.

Some investors are stingy and greedy and don’t want to pay so gather your list
(of investors) ahead of time and isolate into groups or categories…
It’s important to send your properties to the right people first.

One last idea I got from Washington Real Estate Mogul (Joe Kaiser) was called
"Pre-Habbing".

Properties interior (call the antique dealer first"$$" the junk dealer that thinks he's and antique dealer"$$", then pay a hauler -Paid $150
cleaned and hauled all junk in 1 day.
Exterior: cut the lawn your self, remove garbage, junk car guys, scrap etc.
Window and doors boarded up if needed…
I even bought a power washer (siding/brick, block, concrete driveways and asphalt)

This whole thing ends up looking similar to a short sale package.
All this will garn u an extra $1000 -$3000 or so after costs....

Or u can find them, sign them and throw everything against the wall and see what sticks…and make a grand or less….

I believe in creating value and being of value..

Just my 2 pennies, what do I know…

If you were to call them direcly they would take a long time to get back to if at all but if you were referred by one of us things woud move to the next step quick . If you wanted to use another lender at that time you could it is a free country .

Let me be the first to help validate your claim of exclusivity.
Provide me their number and addresses in question via PM
I will contact outside of you in the next 24-48 hours.
If it’s just as you say, I'll be the one to run back here and cosign for ya.
I’ll be your cheerleader and tell the world, da*#n MGD does have this locked up.
Because right now it just isn’t smelling right brother...

Realize that there is CREI happening in EVERY market. Detroit included.. we recently helped move 15 properties in Detroit.. (albiet for an average price of 12k) :( but they were purchased cheaper and moved just the same.

guru_wanna_be's idea of doing it backwords is a good one too.

Visit your local REA group and find out who the deal makers are, what their critria is and that should give you an idea of where to start looking.

The most important thing is to take an action.

Bulldog I am right with brother.
The Analysis of Paralysis thing can be ugly.

I know of several investors making huge killing in Mich./Detroit.
The retail market may not be so Hot but thats not the only RE market.

Lots and lots of foreclosures 4 sure....

So I would say,heck yeah u can do it...

You can bird dog for any kind of deal.

I like to work backwards:

[list]Connect and identify buyers first (wholesalers/flips, rehabbers, etc)
Make a profile sheet on each investor (I have a great one email me for it)
Have a solid option or aggrement with right to assign (got one each those too)
Then seek, find and $$cha ching[/list:u]

Hope that helps :wink: ....
