you just don't get that same connection when your trying to rip equity out of houses's .. or distressed owners are usually one and done

there are great OREO agents who get bank listings.. you get on their team and you can Fuggedabout wholesalers.. you get for real deals that close  LOL.. there seems to be some confusion that there are no agents that work in the distressed asset niche there are plenty you have to find them. and you are not going to wiggle your way into their good graces unless you have money and can close.Just like you guys talk about a great wholesaler just have to find a great agent who knows  his or her  craft.most of the guys I fund here in Portland get their stuff right off of MLS..  

I do believe you need to get used to seeing what a distressed property looks like and then finding the owner, taxes owed, and mailing address for the, because that is very important.

I’m guessing you have a distressed property or distressed seller (from probate or preforeclosure lists) that is behind on payments etc. but that has equity in their home but can’t quite sell it for some reason.

Would like to buy foreclosure/distressed and have one of my many contractor friends help restore it. 

Buy one 100k single-family that's rent-ready in cash and immediately refinance it, to get out 75k. 173k left.Buy 2 distressed properties cash at an average of 86.5k value, and I will have 75k (37.5k each) to renovate them.What do the experts at BP have to say, is this a good plan? 

I have been doing some research in Houston (mostly the northwest of the city) and see quite a few opportunities on the MLS (zillow) for distressed properties in need of rehab where the numbers make sense to Rehab, rent & refinance (BRRR). 

I could get a slightly distressed property if there is a deal since I have capital for 5-10k in renovation.

Or else you open yourself to assumptions by folks.All buyers are left to think is the inside is truly terrible, tenant-owner relationship is bad, or something else which signals this is a distressed property.  

For example, I’m new and been driving for dollars writing letters to physically distressed properties.
