Here in Philadelphia the city requires EACH of your rental units to be lead paint tested & certified every two years.

agents might be able to send you pocket listings, and wholesalers can put you on their buyers lists. you can also post in local facebook groups looking to see if anyone knows of any single-family homes that need a lot of love that the owner might want to see an offer on. you could also drive for dollars & target rundown-looking homes, and cold-call or cold-text the owners, or send mailers to them. note that it often takes multiple contacts to get a result with cold outreach. you can also go buy at tax auctions at the courthouse. you can buy from auction sites. you can look on facebook marketplace and craigslist. hope this helps!

Currently waiting on inspection report to comeback.I have more deals like this in my BiggerPockets Marketplace Thread.This is my best deal since I began investing 3 years ago.I felt like sharing it with the community to inspire people to take action! 

Send certified letters to both agents asking them to remedy the situation.

We are in central New Jersey and looking for an approved and certified 203k general contractor to work on a house we just bought

Welcome to Biggerpockets @Intisar Hasaan Check out the Marketplace, you'll find lots of listings from lenders offering their loans and services. 

I would spend summers working at job sites so the construction aspect is not foreign to me.I am also a trained CFP, certified financial planner, so the numbers aspect is not confusing.I suppose the main challenge I have is actually buying a house.

You can post ads in the Marketplace if you are looking for buyers.

I strongly recommend you go pro and use the marketplace we have had some great contacts come from the marketplace here on bigger pockets!

I started doing some home flipping from 2001 - 2009, then got into buy and hold.I am at a cross roads, so I recently sold some properties, in an effort to have a portfolio of quality over quantity.Not exactly sure what my next move will be, the big challenge for me has been learning about tenant issues, and dealing with some unexpected repairs, both my wife and I took a course and are IPOANS CAM Certified (Certified Property managers).We only manage our own properties, plus have a couple of hired property managers to help with some out of town units, however, I have been studying tenancy rules, laws, and have become addicted to answering property management questions.What attracted me to join this site, is all the different types of real estate investment people are involved in.I look forward to participating in the forum.Michael P Currie
