She didn’t tell me that she represents them (I know for sure her agency had the listing before it was canceled), but the way she worded everything in discussing the property, I would bet she is their agent now.

BUT, the positive would be:+ Catagory A neighborhood with stable renters+ Betting on property value will increase over 10+ yr given the neighborhood+ Turnkey rental, leases in place till 2018Would these positives balance out the lower CAP rate?

I think your best bet for something u can do right now would be to attend local metups in your area. network to other investors. try to develop a relationship with your local credit unions.

Most lenders have a 2 year minimum seasoning on BKs.Honestly, IMO, his best bet is to contact the lender (NOT the servicer, but the LENDER), and throw himself at their mercy for a loan modification. 

I bet your instincts are telling you no while the numbers are telling you yes.

In your example, it's a complete change in the buyer, so I'd be willing to bet that the bank is going to take issue with it. 

Also x2 to what @Antoine Martel  said in terms of FHA most likely being your best bet if you want to house hack.

I look at Bitcoin as betting at the black jack table & real estate is a real investment that i feel i can make calculated risks with. 

Craigslist will be your best bet likely. 

And I would bet very few would get marketed to.The key is to find the ones where the numbers make sense (i.e. price to rent ratios) and that are good areas with decent schools.
