Hello BP family, I recently met with a property owner whose motivated to sell his home. He mention he talked to an agent about listing his home in a couple of months. My question is would this be an issue for me if I got the house under contract, if so how do I go about convincing him not to list it with an agent? I'm highly confident in bring a end buyer to this deal, I just never encountered this situation before. Any knowledge will help. Thank You and have a great day!

@Sharon Vornholt  Hello, so I want to my court house for the probate files, I actually pulled a couple flies, However I didn't have a specific search method. All the files where organized by years. Any strategy on searching? For example, a specific year that might be best? 

Thank You for your knowledge, hope everything is going well for you!

Hi @William Rose ,

I'm about to start my Direct Mailing Campaign as well. After talking with other investors, most would say to just be consist in your campaign. Mail out other little pieces of mail as well like post cards just to show your still interested. 

I wouldn't mention "I'm a nice guy" in my letter. It's kind of give of a negative approach

Best of luck!

Hi BP Family,

I recently came across a forum that mention Feasibility Study. I wasn't sure of the study, so I did my own research and learned a little. However, I was interested in others perspective and experience with feasibility study. In addition, is it necessary when wholesaling? 

Thank you and have great day!

Hi @Kirk Gore ,

I have not closed on a Wholesale deal yet, as i'm just getting into the wholesale business. However, being around investors and others who are in Real Estate I know buyers typically aren't worried about what the wholesaler makes. As long as the numbers work well for them. It's usually the seller that has a issues which causes a wholesaler to double close. To a seller it may look as though a wholesaler is making money for doing "Nothing" as they would say. 

Best of luck!
