@Daniel Morgan With people you know uncover the pain.

Here's where the fun REALLY begins.Title report uncovers not only an open mortgage for $60k...but TWO open judgments and a third pending suit against the seller to the state for child support.

They were so nice.

It is so nice when you have an end buyer with little effort.

Its so nice that people today are so gutless & can sleep at nite knowing what their doing to others lives.

Do you know of any websites that are capable of uncovering what is bringing there score down?

According to my analogy, if you had been already living in the NC Triangle and finding it hard to find your desired Cap Rate, and wanted to try your luck in LA instead, that would be like "jumping from the frying pan into the fire"...Brent I like your analogiesJoe Henry:I live in LA and it costs a huge amount of money just to breathe here Operating budgets near the water meaning near the pacific  ocean are  9 to 10,000 a month gross for a not so nice apartment and living expensesMy median home price is  around 800,000 for modest houseFlippers are spending 10 to 20,000 a month on marketing because it's so expensiveNorth Carolina I think has great opportunity to get into college housing because of the North Carolina University and state schoolsAlso look at buying on installment sale for free and clear housesAnd for houses with no equity look at lease purchaseI would get licensed and look for problems

In a market as hot as South Florida there is no easy/fast way to get deals - the deals are the gold nuggets that take a lot of persistent digging to uncover.

Hi Austin,It's so nice to see an investor considering the environment.
