Where do you find properties?
Where does a person just starting out find properties that need just a little work? talking with a real estate agent, getting some search results coming back are all properties that seem to be cleaned up, selling for as much top dollar as they can. As such, they are at reduced change to be profitable, at least in my area of NW Atlanta.

You’re not looking for deals, what you’re looking for is problems you can solve. Homes that need work that are willing to sell at a discount are usually found in distressed situations. Get creative on your search
