If you don't foresee any major stumbling blocks (or, if you do, and would like to discuss further - we can certainly do that), I'd be happy to set up a showing for you.

I know because when someone goes into contract and I stumble upon that, I point out to my borrower that the seller is likely to be motivated so negotiate hard based on inspection results (muahahahaha).In theory you could just drive around looking at properties that look like no one is taking care of them, and looking up the bills to see if they are delinquent. 

If you put in the time to sift through it all, you can find so much information here that is worth gold - literally.I had been learning for over a year and even put in three or four offers when I stumbled across a posting on the BP Marketplace.

I know that this thread is old, but I wanted to leave a message here in case anyone stumbles across it like I did. 

Just stumbled on this thread.

I had only stumbled upon BiggerPockets doing some random google researching and it has been very insightful.

HI Michael,You also have one of the best programs available to you, VA financing eligibility.VA does require you live there as a primary residence so duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are suitable for this.There's a bit of a stumbling block to apply and document occupancy when you're active duty in distance away from your property (50+ miles) when you're looking to buy and rent out but if your file is structured correctly its doable.This is a great option to purchase property on your path to buying and renting out especially with multi units like 4 plexes.

Very inspiring.I stumbled through college, went to art school, became a successful commercial designer.

Stumbled on this site, great content, the community seems to be very active and very sharing.
