Try networking locally with real estate groups, investor groups, rental owner associations, a local REI, etc. 

Hello,My wife and I recently found a property that fits all of the things we are looking for, perfect location, price, rooms, etc. except for one problem: The previous owner was a smoker :( Does anyone have experience buying/renting out/living in a home previously owned by smokers?

Granite, I know CA tends to see a lot of this; more than likely due to a lot of people owning Solar.My question is the owner that has a lien status associated to this Lien description (Notice of an Independent Solar Energy Producer Contract), is this a standard practice of just owning Solar (thus wasting time prospecting these individuals) or does this simply mean they (the solar company) took out a lien against the owner because the solar company is trying to collect their money.

Reports must include details of beneficial owners, such as names, birthdates, addresses, and ID documents.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Eric Henson: Do you guys ever take the risk of buying a foreclosure at sheriff sale with the previous owner still living in it?

Turns out, the previous owner did take many steps to mitigate the moisture damage and the home was very dry and mold free when we acquired it.

regarding roofs  pray for hail storms and then replace .. in those type assets that are really priced for cash flow.. values will rise only when rents rise.. as non of them will ever go owner occ.. at least that is generally what happens with this type of housing.. the value play is the tenant pays off your home and your home generates enough cash flow to break even at best and feed it a little bit over time.. then at the end of your mortgage term 30 years you now have say 2 mil of paid for assets the real money is made on these assets cash flow wise ONLY if you pay cash IMHO

The workshop shows how SDIRA owners can earn double-digit returns by owning real estate as a bank. 

Unfortunately most CPA's have not lived through more realistic income tax bracket environments such as the 50s 60’s 70s and 80s……so what I’m saying here is not something that most investors, business-owners, high net worth families, or REI investors are thinking about.

It could be some sort of skill set for renovations, design for furnished rentals, specific market knowledge, owner occupied loan products for a house hack, etc.
