It's just speculation building/flipping with a buyer already selected.

Think about it this way - I'm coming from Charlotte, NC (definitely on the more expensive side of things from a real estate perspective), and we don't have near the selection of small multifamily investment opportunities that Pittsburgh has. 

They won't be around much longer =/ But one I haven't seen yet is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store granted it's a mix of selections but the prices are great if you can get appliances.

I know this topic has a lot of forum questions dedicated to it already, but my go-to resources direct mail list resources seem to be set-up differently then in the past.I have used Reonomy and List Source previously for direct mail leads with good enough results that I'd use them again, however Reonomy has just recently been forcing an annual contract instead of monthly which is WAY too costly for what I need, and List Source has split up the commercial properties list differently then the last time I used them and almost all of them are listed in "Commercial: miscellaneous" with every other property types, and I have tried filtering differently with no positive results.My goal is to get "true ownership information"(Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers of people who own LLCs & INCs), but for now this is a one time thing, so I don't need an annual contract, and I don't want to pay thousands for Co-Star for an entire year or something.I do have TLO, however pulling multiple owner's information is very time consuming, so I'd like to do this only for a few select properties.Long story short, I'd settle for any ownership information whether it's company data or not, but I'd like to do a one time deal and get 500-1000 leads.

These products seem interesting but because of my lack of experience with them, I prefer something more tangible that I can actually touch.Also, generally speaking, I like the strategy that you give Dave R credit for which is selectively leveraging equity and paying debt.
