Hi Kyle, welcome to the community!

The property is currently posted on the county sherrif’s page with a mortgage company and amount owed.

Ended up getting an offer at asking, but the appraisal came in way lower than I expected.

I recommend lining someone up before you leave for a 1 year term.  

You find distressed properties and sell the contracts to investors for a fee.Partnering: Partner with investors who have capital.

Come on.

Focus on wholesaling the leads I get from my campaign (while refining my underwriting and acquisition skills) to stack up cash, then begin acquiring rental property.2.

@Allison Cutlip I’d choose whatever account has the most flexibility and the least amount of fees.

I have done quite a few different things, one of the best to find out who is doing the most volume is go onto good and search for the "we buy houses companies" in the area you are looking to invest.

I suggest setting up a partnership agreement that outlines the financial contributions that each party will make and the distributions each partner will receive.
