@Matt M. 100% Agree! Sending out two more letters today to houses that are distressed I saw while running through my neighborhood. As long as I have a good deal in my hands, I will find somebody that will want to be a part of it.

@Matt M. Yeah he is already losing my business after not responding to texts and phone calls. If the property owner contacts me after she receives the letter then I will drive to my fellow investors office and show him the deal. Thank you for the input

@Daniel Hansen Yeah I found their address and noticed that they are up to date on property taxes and it doesn’t look like there are any lines against the property, so I wrote a letter and sent it to the property owners primary residence in hopes they will call me.

Hello BP Family! First of all, thank you for your time reading this post. I noticed there is a house a few miles from my home right next to the gym I go to that is all boarded up. My realtor looked it up and said that it doesn't look like it's an REO, Foreclosure or anything. I looked on the county assessors site and it says the house is owned by 2 people and next to that it says "trust revocable." Thinking about two options, BRRRR or Flip. Before I decide that, what should my next step be to determine if I can even obtain the house? How do I get the owners contact information or their current address to send a letter?

The home is located in San Bernardino city within 1-2 miles of the University. Obviously there are a lot of factors that go into decided if I’ll rent or flip, just trying to gain some insight as what you guys think my next step should be.

Thank you in advance for any help advice, please let me know if there are any other specific details you need to know! P.S. I would be using OPM on this deal.
