The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

@Lincoln Bartlett You will need to use propertyradar, propwire, or propstream to create lists and reach out to distressed homeowners via postcard or text message.

As you look to scale, just make sure to hold/build reserves for when repairs come up and take your time screening tenants as you will find a vacant unit is much less stressful than dealing with a bad tenant.

Quote from @Zachary Deal: @Joshua Kavadi As @Zachary Deal and Chris said, you'll need to know that not every deal is a home run or even a triple.

@Mark Updegraff thanks for sharing, seeing much of the same here in central OH in the industrial sector. 

Any reason why you need a "private person" here? 

Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

I am looking at doing an SBA loan but at their asking price it would still need over 100k. 

Hi I'm gege new to the site starting the Wholesale investment and need help finding seller, where should I brand myself is there an email pitch or a call pitch I can send to seller, like people in foreclosure, or bankruptcy, or late payment and where will I get the ARV, Repair Value, Offer The price that you need to get it under contract for and  where do I get the contract form and if I get a seller and a buyer how do I get a legal person to handle all the paper work for closing.

Is there anything you can switch up strategy wise or do you need to expand your search a little outside Boston?
