Are you looking for turnkey properties only?

The best time was yesterday, the second best time is today.
Time in the market beats trying to time the market.
People will always need a place to live. The fact that buying is less appealing right now means more renters.
Who cares if the margins are slimmer? As long as it's a good deal and the numbers work out with appropriate cushion, don't overthink things.

@Jewel B. that is awesome! It was a good discussion. I havent ever thought about pursuing wholesaling till listening. Seems wickedly competitive but worthwhile for a few aspects. How long have you been wholesaling?
No wholesaling for me :) Not that I'm opposed to it or have anything against it, it's just super competitive like you said and I'm an introvert haha. If I went digging for off market deals it would be for myself :)

Does anyone know where I can find the laws regarding wholesaling in Allentown, PA outside of reaching out to real estate lawyer? If not ill find a lawyer see whats up. Thanks!
Just normal stuff like have proper contracts, EMDs, conduct business honestly, be accurate with rehab and ARV estimates, don't harass people, file and pay taxes.

Quote from @Alex Larcheveque:
Yeah, your process is good to move quickly on a deal. In this market, properties are sitting on the market for longer, so speed isn't as stressed as it used to be.
Either way though, your bottleneck for speed of submitting an offer will be on the agent, not you. Paperwork takes time. Analyzing a property shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours max, unless it's a flip or something a little more involved.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Make sure you keep some reserve funds to handle emergencies that pop up shortly after purchase. Something always seems to pop up!
Great tip! Don't you just love Murphy's Law?

Another great post!
Looking forward to seeing Charlotte and Winston-Salem :)
The next on my list are Burlington, Goldsboro, Winston-Salem, Charlotte! In that order, stay on the lookout!
Goldsboro is news to me. I look forward to all of them. Love the secondary and tertiary market coverage. I would love to see Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk area too.
