I just wanted to open a dialogue with my wife about the option of going in this direction if the profit was right since I am going to see it tomorrow.

Thank you for the dramatic and entertaining 'dialogue' ya'll. 

let's get a dialogue of successes and failures that came from our first Wholesale deals.Be sure to leave numbers and nuggets of knowledge and all that good stuff!

I then reply back and create some REAL dialogue.  .....Dead Silence!!  

@Zack EllardI'm not sure how to go about establishing a mentor...I think it just happens through constant dialogue and involvement.  

I'm still fairly new at BP but there is good dialogue that occurs on here...it's well worth the time to be on the site.AlohaJeff

Hopefully it will at least open up some dialogue.

Open up the dialogue and then offer to take it off her hands for $500-550k so she walks away with a little cash.  

@Robert Zazac great dialogue as I am digging into this as well and trying to figure out the best place to start.

I don't go out of my way to get permits, but I do know that WITH permits, I can advertise that the repairs and improvements I did, WERE documented, and within local building codes.As far as what some say about city inspectors, my experience with building inspectors is that an open dialogue with no attempts to hide shoddy work, leads to easier inspections for the future.
