So many people did DIY.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

One of the issues I have noticed is that some people think of a flip house as being the cheapest possible rehab. 

ways to meet such people would be meetups, or simply walking into some smaller offices, could also ask around to other owners of the assets you are interested in and see who helps them. 

You have some people in here who are cool with and celebrate losing over $1,000 a month.

Ultimately it's less of a science than an art, but people rarely truly change so what they did is probably what they'll do.

However, a few things you could do: You could talk with them & learn more of their story to figure out why their credit score is low as well as the type of people they are.

Want to connect with like minded people in the area.

Id start with defining which markets you want to be in, then see if people here have recommendations.

You'll learn what contractors are good at such repairs, and eventually people will start bringing you "problem properties" with that issue.Another related idea: contact a good local realtor and ask them if they know of any on or off market properties that would be a hard sell for most buyers.
