Take some photos of it and show it to the sellers and agents at closing.  Sometimes you can get them to write you a check at closing to pay for cleanup.

Also you might want to consider the fact that there might be something of value in the junk.  Ive made money by selling off furniture left behind. I list it on craigslist, and the people buying it hall it away. A win win win situation.

Just make sure it looks professional....Ive seen some business cards that so called investors have given me make me shy away from doing business with them.  So just make sure it looks professional. 

I try to use the Fidelity Investments American Express card for all my spending if possible.  It is a straight 2% cash back.  

I thought it was 90 days. Thanks!

You would think I would know this being both an agent, and the owner of several previous foreclosures...but how long does Fannie & Freddie place on the deed restriction before you can sell a foreclosure they owned?

Welcome to BP. I am just down the pike in Rockville. If you need an agent to send you some properties, or show you any feel free to get in contact with me.

Here in the DC/Baltimore area you can have your MLS rights revoked for giving your password out to someone else.

Thanks for the information.  This is one of the reasons why I only look at properties built in 1978 and later after they stopped using lead paint.  

Lynn, Lynn,

The City of Sin,

You dont come out

The way you went in.

I was born in the City of Sin....you came to the right place.  Do a keyword search for wholesaling there will be a ton of information on this site.  There are also a number of the podcasts that talk specifically about wholesaling. 

Educate yourself, then set aside money for a marketing budget.

If you need an agent there in Massachusetts I can recommend a few Ive worked with in the past.

I am originally from Chelsea MA but have lived in the DC metro area for about a decade.  I am just curious if anyone on here in investing in Chelsea MA.  I am curious what that market is like.  I have family members that still live and invest there, but for them it is hard to hear what is really happening there since they have been there their whole lives.  Just curious to get a fresh perspective.  With the gentrification of Charlestown and Somerville, I wonder if that will ever spread across the river to Chelsea, Everett, Revere etc.
