I have recently started writing down addresses of run down or abandoned properties that I would like to purchase, but I only have the owner's name.

I have met and spoke to several people that have joined Brads group and purchased and sold several deals because of it.

I live in San Diego and am trying to purchase my first investment property I have about 150K to put down but am struggling to find deals that meet my price point. 

I look to achieve the 1% rule when purchasing although in the current market it’s not a guarantee of cash flow.

These areas not only offer reasonable purchase prices for most investors but also feature turnkey homes—either newly built or fully renovated, ready for tenants, with systems that still have 10+ years of life remaining, and property management teams in place.

We also have a very strong rental market, and that too has high demand from investors wanting to purchase. 

Of course, every owner's situation is unique and factors like the legal entity involved, purchase date, adequate passive income that can be offset with the cost segregation study, etc., will need to be considered.

Is this purchase on the MLS or through a turnkey company? 

I sunk a large amount of capitol into these when I purchased them just to make sure they were nice. 

Nobody who has been purchasing section 8 rentals for 2 years and doesn't understand the costs associated with operating these assets sustainably has any business investing other's money.
