Okay - professional baseball player but that ain't happening in my 50s.

The Allegheny County Real Estate office produces a CD every quarter of all the sales in the county for the last three months (along with loads of property information).I use this data to see what's happening in the areas that I care about.  

It might make sense and it might be easy to produce a POF letter but hey- if this guy is a player and is just kicking the tires and looking - and you can verify that he is a player- ask for your POF when he makes the offer and dont piss him off!

You could come in and find a flipper mentor or see what flippers want so you could wholesale it to them or just meet the major players in the area. 

In my area it would look more like:$75-90k purchase price (in cash, distressed C/D area)$35k rehab (cash or credit)$1500 holding while you get it rentedApprox $1200 a month rent$150,000 ARV 6-12 months seasoning Refi out 75-80% ($112-120k)

OK, well, if that's not realistic, I'm open to reason.Ideal property is a C property in a B area (using an A,B,C,D area scale).I live in LA but think the market is too overheated here to get anywhere close to the cash flow goal so am actively investigating & number crunching external markets (Atlanta, Tacoma, San Antonio, Charlotte, Austin, etc.).  ------ THE HELP I'M LOOKING FOR ------I'm looking for help locating these small Multi's that can cash flow.I'm also looking for input regarding the cash flow goal. 

These gave me a good introduction and game plan for allowing me to either make my own statement of work or know what the heck a contractor is giving me when I look at their statement of work.To that end, I also ordered the 'National Repair & Remodeling Estimator 2016 (National Repair and Remodeling Estimator) (National Repair & Remodeling Estimator (W/CD))'. 

(IBM) Sure some of the players stock can get hit hard but this is not like Detroit selling cars or something.

C-, D...no.  

The big players have access to investor cash and have the means to work with borrowers and legal system, while it takes working knowledge, the returns can be very attractive for even small scale investors.
