preREO is a marketplace for non-performing mortgages as well as REOs.

I live and invest in Milwaukee since 2007, so probably a little bias here, but we are set up very well for future growth. 

If you figure out another method.   

It takes time and patience, but the long-term benefits are well worth it.I’ve personally gained invaluable knowledge, listings, and deals from friendships I’ve built over the years.The more people you engage with, the faster you’ll achieve your goals!

Saul, Phoenix and Vegas are popular markets, but I’m not sure they’ll actually cash flow well with today’s prices and interest rates.

Going over maps of known repairs with contractors showed that there were a few houses where people tried to have piers installed and ran out of money before hitting stable soil, others in the hyper local area did have to go to 100+ ft.  

You need to do the research too if your area would be bringing in more money as an STR, some areas would do better as a long term rental as well. 

So, the common person may ask - well how is me funding the rehab myself any more risky for the lender/why would they want to limit leverage?

best of luck. i would network in that area and go to as many meetups you can and learn the area well

It can work really well or really bad.
