To top it off their tenant left my house absolutely filthy with over 7k worth of damages(Photos in link below).

Somebody here, I think it was, @Jerryll Noorden wrote something that is absolutely key:PPC/SEO/DM/FB/whatever + Credibility = Deals.If they don't see that you are real and credible, you can mail all you want.

Now if you already have an out of state LLC that you absolutely want to use for this new property, you can also foreign registered it in the new state, but you would be paying two state fee instead of one.

When I find an absolute great deal that I cannot afford the buyer to back out on and close cash fast, I have a short list that I go to first. 

Also, even if it's in your personal name, you can absolutely deduct all of the same expenses.

Sorry, but REI's are a waste of time (generally).It is a meeting where everyone brags about how great they are doing, and do small talk about investing, exchange business cards that absolutely amounts to nothing, and then chat and mingle.

If you do buy this property, make absolutely sure you review the leases before you buy.I won't go into the details of everything I have had to learn and the process I have had to deal with, but I will say it has been enough to make me want to never rent to Section 8 again. 

We just had an absolutely lovely 2 BR apartment sit for 7 months.

I know that there will be differences of opinion in what the right way to go about wholesaling, but I would like to know if it is absolutely necessary, or can I wholesale as an individual, not as a business?

@Gaurav Patel, Tampa is absolutely a hot spot for investing right now.
