I will look into those states more deeply, but it helps to narrow it down a little.

I have narrowed my view to buy and hold mainly, for stability as well as less risk in starting, than some of the more fast paced options.

Contact tenant B and remind him of his commitment.

I would narrow my criteria, are you going to target pre-foreclosures with high equity, absentee owners, probate, tax delinquent owners, as in any business system there is a chain of steps, and if you aren’t getting you’re desired outcome, work your back in the chain.

Using just the out of state owners really narrowed my searches though.

I’m hanging out in the C, D and F+ area until my passive income surpasses my active before potentially buying B and A properties (I may never buy B and A, at least not as a rental)

I am considering to buy a shortsale in Baltimore from a wholesaler where he will close as A to B and then my deal with him will be B to C.

I'd recommend narrowing your search to a submarket or neighborhood in Sacramento.Then, if you want to find the owner information, you can look up the apartment address on the assessor site.

Many people think resal estate investing it like building something out of lego blocks, that A leads to B and B leads to and connects to C in only one way but the truth is that real estate investing is much more flexible than that and can vary quite a bit.

I've narrowed it down the choice between two carriers and there's a significant price difference between the two, as one offers replacement cost and the other actual cash value.Purchase Price:202,500 Loan Amount: ~$160,000Option 1: $1500/yearCoverage Amount: $205,000 - ACTUAL CASH VALUE Includes: Liability, Earthquake, Loss of useOption 2: $2,800/year Coverage Amount: $500,000 - REPLACEMENT COST Includes: Liability, Earthquake, Loss of useI can't decide which policy is more appropriate to protect my investment.
