I've worked with dozens of investors who have tested both the standard and premium listings on Zillow.

I have 0% equity since I just got the home.For starters, I would go back to all of the people complaining about the condition and test whether providing a repair allowance at closing would make a difference.

I wouldn't buy a property based on numbers from a turnkey company, agent or wholesaler, but fly or drive out and look at the property and neighborhoods.

Look up the Howey Test for a definition of investment contracts.Sounds like a really good deal.

I've seen every lawyer within an hour's drive and most of them ask "why would you need to start an LLC?"

I think it is beneficial to visit the area you are going to invest in, meet the team you will be working with, and explore the neighborhoods by driving around.

@Pat Aboukhaled You always give such great advice with super examples which drive home the points:)

Mail out flyers is the best way.You can drive around the area that you are interested and see if it looks abandoned and find the owner.It's off-market so it means a lot of manual work on finding them. do a simple internet search and you will find many ways.

Do you avoid driving because you might get in an accident? 

Initially started local, when market too high locally, researched fastest growing markets within driving distance, invested there.
