Unless this freely given rehab budget is paired with a contractually binding scope of work from a licensed and insured contractor, it is virtually useless. 

Considering you know what you’re doing though and know the markets to wholesale in, you can be great at it and do it virtually almost anywhere if there are no legal hoops.Anyhow, to each their own.

Hey Brandon, I'm based in Irvine, although I do virtual wholesaling in Texas and Arizona.

However, most out of state investors trying to turnkey virtually here in Birmingham do not succeed.

You can't use virtual/pbx numbers to verify most accounts, so you actually have to drop a few bucks..In case you're wondering, I have no affiliation/reward with any of these companies and just wanted to share a tip that may come in handy if you're trying to build a business on a shoe-string budget in your early days. 

I liked the big commissions in the day 10%  and I double ended virtually everything I sold because most realtors can't even find bare land...

Will be virtually wholesaling for now until I relocate. 

The key is to talk to as many people as you can, let them know you’re an agent, and listen.You can talk to people you know (your sphere), people you meet (have lunch at a bar and strike up a conversation), people who meet you (set up at a home show or host another agent’s open house), virtual people (Instagram and Facebook) and people you never meet (cold call).

Other agents however, enjoy the flexibility of working for a virtual brokerage.
