It can be difficult, not impossible, to do the acquisition, renovation, and leasing if you have a full time job.

And you’re probably wondering, “How can you make a profit offering full market value?”

With all that said we have spent a ton of money for data looking at foreclosure rates, banking rates, where jobs are being created, where jobs are losing out, where schools are seeing rapid raises in enrollment, where governments at the local levels have been tax friendlier, where inventory on the open pubic markets are not meeting demand, and house transactions.

I'm just getting into wholesale real-estate and was wondering if anyone knows any good real-estate attorneys in the Charleston South Carolina area??  

Just wondering how some of you guys would appraoch this.

@Andrew Hereford Wonderful!

I still have a day job, I'm a real estate broker and have been for 23 years, but currently specialize in Glass boxes in the skye in Downtown Chicago. 

Is this a "Walk away" job, or is there a way to properly analyze this, and make it work?
