Hello,

One of my local counties has public record e services. For some reason you can not search a website by address? It is asking Name or MAP # .Where can I find the Map # of a property to search for the tax information and mailing address online?

I called the courthouse for a property and they gave me the current information on it. I just don't want to call back 10 times a day calling about vacant properties I come across.

I'm also born n raised in Pittsburgh . I would suggest mineos for pizza in squirrel hill.

I would also say visit the southside for Pittsburgh food and great times.

OK. So the best way to do this is get my signs up and drive looking for.vacant homes, research the absentee owner address and contact them. What is the best way to get absentee owner information. I was using realquest but it got to pricey.

The only people I contacted where for sale.by owner signs. Which were about 5 owners.

thanks for your words.

OK.EVERYONE THANKS FOR ADVICE.

I HAVE NO BANDIT SIGNS UP YET, I JUST ORDERED THEM. THE LEADS I'VE BEEN GETTING ARE FROM FOR SALE BY OWNER SIGNS THAT I See.( sorry about the caps )

here's another questions. A few times the seller asked me why don't I get a inspection before I put the property under contrac? What is a good counter for this ?

Do you all use your state realtor contract or do you use a one page?

thanks for your words.

Hello everyone haven't posted in a few days. Here's the situation :)

I'm trying different approaches to wholesaling, when I communicate with the home owner. Here is a quick recap.

1. Didnt tell.the home owner anything about me assigning the contract. His questions were why do you need access to the home? Why do you need to bring other investors and partners to come look at the home? Those where his main concerns. With me giving good reasoning I lost the deal.

2. found another house. Told home owner exactly what I was doing. Seemed ok with it until I gave him my paperwork. He immediately said he wasn't interested. Ask me why don't I pay for the house then resale it. Basically lost this deal.

I found another home that is for sale by owner for 199,999(asking price ) . I can get the price down because of the home owners situation.

I want to make sure I don't miss out on anymore deals because of my approach.

When you explain to the home owners what you are doing, what explanation do you give the home owners step by step. I would love to read some seasoned wholesalers approcah . I'm reading every where the seller has to be motivated and in both scenarios they were motivated because they dropped the asking price significantly.

In both situations I built rapoure with both home owners.

If anyone can let me know there explanation process I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you
Exscue typos I'm.typing on my evo.

I appreciate the information. I was using a guru one page contract. It seemed to me that it scared some sellers away. I'm learning the ins and outs of the PA realator contract

How can I protect my interest in the buyer ? What paperwork do I need ? I won't need to actually put the house under contract I'm assuming?

I see. Ok thank you. is there anyway I can make a penny off this deal ?

I have a lady who contacted me. She's pre approved for a 50k mortage. I have a house under contract for 29 that fits her needs. I know I can't assign this contract on a pre approve mortage. I'm thinking ill need trans funding. How much does transfunding cost. Also how long is the process on closing a wholesale when the end buyer has a pre approved mortage ?

Thanks
Aaron

What Google key words would I.search to bring up my states pub records for real estate ?
