Possible first property fix and rent or wholesale? What steps?
I'm just getting started in real estate investing. I've run across what seems to be a vacant/ abandoned single family home. Obvious signs like overgrown grass, no signs of anyone living in property. The property is currently off market. How do I go about finding the current owners? How would I go about finding if it's any types of liens against the property? I'm planning to make this my first deal. I'm not sure if I should wholesale it or BRRR it, any thoughts. I wanna rent it for cash flow, but I'm not strapped with cash and credit is not so good. Although I have an extra vehicle I could sell to come up with a few thousand dollars. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
