@Rick H. I've read a bit about bird-dogging & thought it was a good idea. Isn't it technically illegal though?? I thought the next best thing would be to pair up with somebody or somebodies who could buy (with cash) & let them sort of critique my deals & have a discounted price on the deal they looked at if they wanted it.
@Joshua Houchins While seller financing sounds interesting, I'm not sure I really want More debt beyond my student loans. haha. I had been looking at renting first & still think of doing that at some point, but when I have the capital to just buy it & save all that money in interest. I'm always chewing on ideas though...
@Larry Turowski That's exactly what I've come to the conclusion that needs to happen! I don't want to make a move without talking to or knowing anyone. Thought I'd probe around a bit before I actually started getting into the more of the details of the market in the area, repair costs, marketing, & the rest of it too. See? You get me! =]
