That said, I'm still working my way through a boggling number of options -- SFR/Multi, BRRRR or just put the money into a freshly rehabbed property in an area with good CAPS rate, etc. 

@Daniel Han Turnkey properties are freshly rehabbed units with renters placed in them. 

This is a very basic 101 level trick approach (not even a trick)...One of my first "doing God's work" refinances when I was fresh off of the Loan Officer Assembly Line was a dude that went $80k (or some crazy number) in debt taking care of his dying mother.

@Joshua Feit Inventory can often go "stale" if its not a fresh listing and has come back on the market...

Of course during the sale of the property, the owner said all tenants pay on time, etc. but he revealed at closing that one of the tenants had not paid for that month.As written in the lease she signed with the previous owner, there can be a late fee assessed for this late rent.

As Jay suggests, the preliminary title work should then have revealed the liens.

Post your ad on craigslist at least twice a week so you make it fresh..

Port Royal the little pizza Shop is one of my favorite places when ever IM in town.Still come down to Yemassee to pick up pounds of fresh shrimp.Alex

I took a deeper dive, and listened to may of the podcast episodes that Sean had put out, as well as the BP podcast episodes where the various methods of wholesalers were revealed in interview after interview.I found many similarities among what I'd read and heard on the podcasts:Direct Mail is a very popular way to goYou'll likely need to spend thousands in marketing dollars (most likely using yellow letters and postcards) to get the deals coming in to youOnce you get one deal, the rest snowballCommit to one marketing strategy, bandit signs may work but they tend to be the least favored here on BP (due to their "uglying up a neighborhood" and the fact that many times they are illegal and get removed)So I get the general gist of this but the questions I still have unanswered are:How does one know what is the right legal language to put on contracts?  

Welcome Brandon I'm fresh to all of this as well.
