You find yourself a good agent to find the homes that will interest you. You will be advised by this agent as to whether or not this is a good marketable home. They can pull comps to tell you how much homes are selling for in your area of interest. Next determine how much time and money it will take to get it ready to market for top dollar.
In some areas, you have to wait 90 days to relist if the profit margin is at a certain point. This will give you time to do necessary work to get the home in the best condition for the market. Please view our video on Using a Buyers Agent.
