So I sent a sample of one e mail i got from a wholesaler to the state and asked them to make a determination .. they have investigated and they will give me the results of their findings and I suspect a ruling on if in Oregon you can market property before you own it as a business scheme. 

This is a small sample so the bid acceptance pattern may change. 

Sending out 500 mail pieces is not enough of a sample size to even determine a realistic response rate.  2. 

Stanley & Megan Hello Stanley,I used realestateexpress.com which had some pretty good study tools and sample exams to prepare with.

You can also have soil samples taken before removal to ensure that there is no leak and many companies will give you a firm price for removal and remediation after thats done. the last thing you want is an expensive environmental issue so make sure you know the status of the tank before you close.

Hey @Joshua Coleman - there's a couple of online providers out there, but what I would recommend doing once finished with your courses is ordering a sample exam book of questions for your state.

To determine what the market rent is, I'd sample more than one property though. 

Feedback has been fantastic but no offers yet.I'll post updates as I get themThe jury is still out on this project but I'm looking at a potential profit of $30k-$35k depending on selling price and closing costs.Some lessons learned:Time IS Money - I spent weekends and nights working on this place to save some cash, in the end I could have paid a bit (~$5k) more and had it ready to sell in weeks versus months.Keep track of everything - The amount of data I have from this flip is astounding: Square footage of rooms, kitchen layouts, electrical diagrams, paint schemes & material samples, inspection documents, eviction process, quantity of materials used and of course all of the costs.I'm much more confident in accurately estimating jobs and can spot questionable charges/material quantities - the best part is that the more flips you do the better your data gets!

Your sample size is ridiculously low.

Those members that post consistently gain trust over time, similar to any other relationship, business or otherwise (you have a larger sample by which to pull from).
