Reach out to real estate agents that specialize working with investors. 

Just ask your real estate agent if they own any rental properties.     

I run Forged Home Buyers, a San Antonio wholesaling business, and my business partner is an agent with Virtus Realty. 

Years go by and eventually Grandpa gets tired of fixing porches, nailing gutters and steam cleaning carpets that 'have a couple more years in them. 

You and your partners are going to do nothing but put food on the table for your GC, Agent & PM.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Couple questions for you, as I am an agent and aspiring investor.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

I am a licensed agent in Kansas and Missouri as well as looking for my first investment.
