@Mark Andrews1.

If I wanted to be babysat, I'd go back to a cubicle.Point is, the loan is callable at the 5,7 or 10 yr mark usually, not a balloon. 

Thanks for the advice @Mark Pedroza

You can also do a parcel search in the area and mark down all owners who are absentees.

I think you mean “if the irs doesn’t renew a lien filed at  the 10 year mark. ....

What got me back in the game was 2 things...1) Mark Ferguson's book "Build a Rental Property Empire" and 2) listening to 2 different podcasts where I heard 2 people who were in my current profession resign because they were making so much money in Real Estate.I attended my first meet up this week and it was nice to speak with people with the same goals and interest in Real Estate.  

Unless (and we're henceforth naming this the @Mark Creason rule)... you actually close on 95% of the list. 

I am not sure where you bought that house but few properties that need flipping appraise as is for more than 75k.HTH,Mark
