I have a home ready to rent and getting a solid agreement prepared is my last step before marketing the property.

Also, what type of contracting do you specialize in?

Surprises are still there, it is unavoidable, but being able to look at the two sides of the coin now, we can help the investor prepare for that.In Addition to these tips, I have uploaded some files in the File Place here on BP, that I find it useful to all rehabbers.

URGENT NOTICEI’m interested in BUYING your house located at <<property address>>I’m Daniel with Suncoast Equity Partners and we are a local real estate company that specializes in fast, effortless closing transactions on homes just like yours.As an absentee owner, I’m sure you have experienced some of the many challenges of the landlord business.

I'm selling one house as a "handyman special", so I'm advertising it with all of its flaws.

@Cameron PriceOne typically does not just "setup" their own Solo 401k plan.There are firms that specialize in these plans with a focus on the plan being self directed as opposed to a Solo 401k offered by a brokerage firm that will be limited to publicly traded assets.  

A GOOD real estate agent who specializes in working with investors, will provide you with a complete, unbiased, picture of what is available and what is a good deal.

Please refer a good broker specializing in such properties , and lawyers.   

I have no interest in wholesaling, but I would think you need to be prepared to personally close the deal yourself if you cant get a buyer.
