Agent: Their experience with investing personally and their experience working with customers just like you.

I thought of selling back to the seller at the same price, and take the 12kish loss on repairs  I doubt they will take it back.. check your note to make sure you dont have personal guranteesNoted, thanks Jay!

I have looked around online, but haven't had any luck yet, i have local real estate agent there, but they are not expertised on those distressed properties.  

We have been able to get some great deals simply by doing extra research that the average person wasn't willing to do.

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year. 

Personally I like the Section 8 program when the property is located in a super poor area with a ton of blight and crime.

if you have an LLC and both properties are under it, you just need 1 operating account.If both are under your personal, 1 bank account specifically for the rental is enough for operating.Security Deposits should always be a separate account altogether.

Like Jonathan said, in-person meetings with other investors is the best place.

He knew the person selling this property and asked if we were interested.

Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.
