mailers, web ads, yellow pages, signs... how are you going to FIND deals...? 

Owners don't walk away from $50K + in equity.Go to the recorder of deeds web site and check for liens on the property AND any others against the owner (judgment liens can be hard to find.Something here is not right.

Sounds like you aren't having trouble getting traffic, though.  

Here's one of 50+ that I received across the inter-webs from a single tenant.

The 4-plex is on a corner lot of a moderate traffic intersection.

Not a lot of useful info on the web site. 

I've worked with my mom's company doing digital marketing through web design and social media management.

It also includes common forms that you can edit and use.Their web site is a free resource with links to your state law but I highly recommend the book for some of the practical advice they provide.

I'll see if I can round up some local recommendations for a mortgage broker and see what they have to say.Its not as rural around here as it used to be - its all subdivisions and commercial development everywhere ... though the traffic still doesn't hold a candle to the traffic in DC :)Thanks,Amy

I usually get in town at around 4PM to beat the rush hour traffic and I grab a coffee and beignets at Cafe Du Monde on Veterans.
