You could chase after the same properties as everyone else on the MLS with a realtor, or you could send out mailers to a motivated seller list. 

If you are interested in SEO going Andy and Keiths free Facebook group and see for yourself the sort of stuff they share.

Properties with room to add value don't come up here often, hence the motivation to get into this property.

Please shoot me a PM if you would like to chat or just say hi.All the best,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management & Maintenance Hi Phil,It's great to see another member on the forum from Toledo and investing in Toledo.Same here mate.I've travelled the world, lived all over the world and bought real estate all over the world.But I'm yet to find a market that offers a "better bang for your buck" than Toledo.Been investing in Toledo since 2014 in buy. fix and flips and also property management.I don't see myself investing anywhere else.Why fix it if its not broken.Downside to Toledo is low appreciation and difficulty finding motivated and competent staff.But is probably more so me being a poor people manager than the actual market itself.Wishing you much success in Holy Toledo hehe 🙏🙏🙏

I don't know how long it can last though as it is the sort of channel that once to many people start doing the whole channel will become ineffective.

I guess I have to talk to the owner to make his offer better than banks, I feel like he is not motivated enough, he said he wanted to retire. 

He needs to be a manager, organizer, motivator, and educated in the trades and he has to give a you know what about the finished product of your job. 

Partnerships could be another avenue—teaming up with another investor could provide the financing you need.Lastly, don’t give up on creative financing; lease options, subject-to-deals (when the house is not free and clear), or finding motivated sellers could allow you to secure another property without disturbing that fantastic interest rate.

.#5 is sort of the reverse of #4.

Would love to connect and see what sort of strategies you are looking at and for what areas.
