You can write letters, see if you can get a phone #, talk to the neighbors to see what they know or just go up and knock on the door.Once you have a good deal, go to your local REIA meeting or post it here on BP and I guarantee you will have no trouble finding someone with cash.Spend some time combing the site for tips on "driving for dollars", "direct mail", "off market deals", etc...It sounds like you have relevant experience and skills, so my suggestion would be to find a great deal.  

Thank you @Peter Comb and @Michael Bertsch.

Each loan was gone over with a fine tooth comb, everyone trying to blame someone else for the loss.  

You're better off combing through 100 deals to find one that's in a great area that gets you 1% with appreciation potential and quality tenants, in an A or B area, rather than 2% or 3% in a bad area.

The inspector spent about 7 hours going through it with a fine toothed comb and did a stellar job, thankfully.

I've combed through the ranks of local Elgin and St.

Hey everyone,I've been combing through many of the forums related to "end of year" taxes on the net profit from a flip. 

A month should give you some time to really comb the MLS and find a decent deal for a house hack. 

You might also want comb over this forum with your Attorney to make sure nothing can be used for litigation; for example, if someone admitted they were at fault....it could be used against them. 

Make sure you get a good home inspector to go through with a fine tooth comb.
