Deal sourcing- if you’re willing to search regionally, don’t ask anyone to sell that isn’t already in a sale mode. “ No marketing.”

I also hope to build my network of lenders, contractors, etc.My highest priority currently is learning and practicing to identify and analyze properties.

Do a search on county assessors site and with the city to determine empty lot plans/issues.  

This allows us priority housing when they search for a home fit for their clients. 

I tried to search on the IRS website but can't find anything.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

If I were to go this route I would clearly identify each of these risks individually, understand how the Govt would potentially challenge each of them and then assess in your particular fact pattern how you would effectively rebut a challenge to each. 

Then you could just go straight to those locations to search for deals.

Hey Loan, I get it—trying to find cash-flowing deals in the Bay Area is like searching for a needle in a haystack.I’ve been investing in Detroit for a while now, and it's one of the few places that still offers great cash flow opportunities.
