My days consists of combing through the MLS looking for deals and reaching out to agents, other investors and/or wholesalers to try and acquire property.

If it is not heavily marketed yet then usually you can lock it up fast before it goes out to the masses.What happens is usually a 1031 buyer is the best buyer because they are generally paying big taxes if they do not buy something unless another all cash buyer steps in at a similar price.If the property is very competitive that is when I would have my capital markets commercial mortgage person go through my financials and the aspects of the property with a fine tooth comb before even thinking of agreeing to no loan contingency.Now if you have a good attorney there can generally be put many other outs in the contract besides the loan you could use in due diligence to get EM back.My deals we generally put in a long due diligence period that doesn't start until ALL the listed items required from the seller have been received.If your professionals are not helping you with this stuff you really need to think of finding others who have those skills.No legal advice given.    

We find homes for investors and we go through them with a fine tooth comb, before they're presented to them.

I'll admit, I need to go back and comb through some of the language on all of the 203k loan docs that I and he have signed so to see what his obligations are, but thought someone here might have experience in this area that they could share.Many thanks!

I remember combing through the MLS and finding properties with decent numbers.I'd be interested to get your opinion on that area of P-Burg.

I have a few different searches saved on Redfin, Trulia, and Zillow with homes for sale and rentals properties in the Atlanta area and have been combing through those searches daily to get an initial feel for pricing and rental rates.

This information will never show up in a report, but could move the needle on the final number the appraiser comes to.Your best bet is to go through the report with a fine tooth comb and figure out whether or not the appraiser came to a legitimate conclusion based on the information available.  

I've spent many sleepless nights combing the forums and blogs although I do need to catch up on the podcasts.  

Then the OTC listing comes out so you can see that by that time the liens may be fairly well combed through. 

However you might have to check some of the rental sites and see if anything is listed or craigslist.I don't know of any sites with hard data you could comb through though.
