Adrienne,

Anything is possible with having the incorrect address. However, to confirm, I looked at the street views for these properties...see the house & verified the address that way. Address I had was correct, but still not on website. I haven't finished looking for all 10 properties due to time constraints. So, I will continue my research this weekend. 

Jassem,

Thank you for the website -I will definitely look into it this weekend, as well.

Thank you, both, for your help!!!  

Thank you so much,  Brett, for the sound advice. I am working on learning and doing for my first transaction. Excited about the future! And you are so right about all the info -I feel it's an overload of information. But that's ok. I'm ready & the time is NOW!!!

Thank you, Robin. I would love to go to the courthouse, but I work M-F, 8-5. I will check into the skip-trace as an option. 

Thank you! 

Hello All,

I have found 10 distressed properties in nice neighborhoods.  I have looked on the county websites to try to find the owner's of the properties so I can send postcards to. However, 8 of the properties were not listed on the website.  Even looking on Zillow & Trulia-there wasn't too much information from public records like previous sold date, taxes, etc  Being that I am financially challenged, I am driving for dollars, right now, to get started.  How can I find the owners of these properties?  What should I be doing to get things going?

Any and all help is so greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you for responding Paul. The flyer does not mention a field trip. I will make a serious attempt to attend tomorrow, as a backup, find out when the next one will be offered. Thank you so very much for your help. 

The REIA networking event was great! I really enjoyed it. It was great to hear what others are doing and to hear positive feedback from those who are where I plan to be. I believe I'm going to attend a workshop, Saturday, that is being offered thru the REIA, but it's $200. And I'm more interested in wholesaling at this time, but the workshop is on The Realities of Rehabbing.

Topics discussed:

"How Do I":

Find my properties?

Know what to pay for a property?

Estimate the rehab cost?

Present a good wholesale deal?

What do I do once I find a property?

Put the property under contract?

Deal with contractors?

Spend my rehab dollars

Best sell my property

So, yes, this is information that I need to know, but is it relevant to wholesaling and for me to getting started in wholesaling right now.  Oh, also mentoring is offered to anyone that wants it with the workshop.  I don't believe there is a fee for it. So, I'm on the fence,  right now,  as to whether or not I will attend the workshop.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Tiese

Paul, thank you so very much!!! I will definitely do that!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Tiese & I am going to my first REIA meeting tomorrow evening for networking. I am going to wholesale properties. My plan is to network with other wholesalers and create my cash buyers list. If you don't mind, could you please give me any suggestions of what else I need to do while at the networking event. This will be my first step towards reaching my wholesaling goals. I appreciate all suggestions.

Thanks so much!

Thank you. This helps me out tremendously! 

Thanks Mike for responding. I'm having somewhat of a challenging time w/ the house that I've made an offer on. If I speak w/ someone at a title company, would they be able to answer my questions for free? My main issue is can I change the closing date on a contract when I'm the one that made the original offer to the bank? And the bank accepted? My realtor said that it couldn't be done. Unless the bank made any changes to the offer I submitted. My father suggested I use a lawyer. But I didn't know I could use a title company.

Thank you for your help.
