Quote from @Randall E Collins: Only an idiot has payed or plans to pay some one how to teach them how to wholesale.

Spend some time online and learn the process.Get comfortable with these methods because it going to be at least another 5-7 years before a bank will give you a loan again. 

The house is offered to the buyer at the ARV price, and we explain how we plan to rehab the property and its worth after repairs (ARV).The end buyer has to make a commitment of at least 10% of the ARV, provide proof of funds, and other documents required to list the property on our website.

Realtor - the right realtor is worth their weight in gold, so don't discount their expertise...you'll find some awesome people to work with here on BP.Expensive - Appreciation or cashflow is your real question...what's your current job and plans for the future?

Think about it this way, would you rather spend $100K on buying, $50K on rehab and sell for $200K ($50K profit) and deduct your expenses but owe tax on the $50K so net maybe $30K?

Rethink it spend some time there get to know the city (dont ask a realtor) and then figure out what's best for you.

If they had $500 to invest, they’d spend it celebrating their first deal — not on a master class in estimating foundation and HVAC costs.Your idea is solid, but the better audience might be aspiring flippers who keep overpaying because they believe these junk estimates.

Regardless of your and my political bent, our government can make people feel nervous, and when people are nervous, they don’t spend as much on “want to” things such as a family vacation.

Haha yes, they are often the same people who spend thousands on guru education.

How much you had to spend on repairs is secondary (it would be an emotional justification).
