The most active (SEO-friendly) companies will pop up, and those wholesalers are constantly finding/buying/selling inventory.My personal favorite is networking with other house flippers.

Jim you keep doing these post like this and NO ONE is going to buy rentals ever again LOLbut seriously I like that you balance out all the blue sky and bring reality to the equation.buying rentals is not a set it and forget investment no matter what.can be with really special A class to strong B class but no way with blue collar 800 to 1000 dollar tenants.. don't care where how or what.. they are all people. some are pigs some are clean and neat some in the middle and you can't tell with an application .I suspect if you took the time to go check out their automobile before you rented to them.. or did a sneak pop in on where they are living now before they move into yours you might catch the pigs before they move into your freshly rehabbed home.

All mom/pop type businesses.

@Ken Nguyen go to Zillow, type in your address, then when your property pops out (in public view, not in landlord view), scroll down and click "neighborhood".

Keep at it and it will pop. 

Otherwise, I fear the only way to do this is wait till land in Atlanta and the "right" property pops up in the 4-5 days we are "on the ground"; Also read several books that address this topic (David Greene and others) thanks in advance, Stephen

Thinking that might be true, yesterday, I called a number on a bandit sign that just popped up in a neighborhood I drive by a lot

Okay - for some reason it popped up under the HOA Issues category in my forum categories... 

Even if you house hack and do a FHA loan, $20k will cover the 3.5% down, closing costs, and any other expenses or repairs that pop up in the first few years.

I like to spend a little extra on those to really make the place pop.
