Thanks @Leland Barrow. The seller is an estate so they don't have one on file.

Last week I went under contract with a wholesaler in Austin and the double-blind close is scheduled for early next week. It does not look like I'll be able to get a survey in time for the closing. The house is in an older neighborhood that is platted.

Do most investors require a survey in this scenario? 

Thanks!

@Omar J. thanks for taking the time to put together the diagram! I will start incorporating some of those ideas and will update with results.

That was my concern as well. I guess I need to provide the next logical step...how am I different than a typical investor.

I recently created my website to capture motivated seller leads. I have been doing PPC but virtually all of my traffic leaves the site after landing on the home page (one page view).

Today I added a link on home page today that says: "Read how investors calculate an offer price." It directs you here.

Curious to get any thoughts on this? My guess is that the link will get clicks, but do you think this tactic will be more likely to convert leads, i.e., will they fill out the form if they are more engaged? Or, am I revealing too much information?

What are you guys doing on your website to convert traffic into leads?

What is your conversion rate, or, said differently, what percentage of visitors fill out your form?

Thanks Lynn! Let me know how to be notified of when the meetup occurs. I assume you are on meetup.com?

I will definitely check out some of the prior videos.

Welcome to BP. This site is an incredible resource of information. Stick around for awhile and you will soak it all up.

From my vague memory of law school, the leases are an agreement with the real property. By purchasing the property you are acquiring any prior leases and encumbrances.

I would reach out to Harold McGee. He is an investor broker who runs a weekly meetup. His brokerage has a property management branch.
