A good way to find deals is by connecting with local real estate agents, wholesalers, or checking out sites like Facebook groups and Craigslist.

Aside from the risk of taking on the property with tenants, you may also have to purchase site unseen which makes it tough to calculate repair costs. 

We had a few hiccups with the timing of contractors on site and it lead to a 4 to 6 week delay.
