we did this a lot pre 07  in that year Oregon WA and then CA made laws that had lots of teeth about dealing with those in foreclosure.. so we just stopped doing it risk was not worth it.I cant see how an individual can do this really..

Individuals are purchasing these properties, rehabbing them, and raising rents.

I focus heavily on the sell side and on the buy side only work with high net worth individuals so the newbie wanting a 400k multifamily with an FHA loan probably isn't for me. 

The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

And if you go under contract as an individual, can you then JV with another investor or is it too late?

I reached out to the individual marketing the deal to schedule a property viewing, but they’re asking for proof of funds (which I expected) and a signed purchase agreement or LOI.Is this normal?

Like I said, most of these authors/investors talk about going bigger sooner.

The entire goal is to help you / individuals like you who are interested in a finding an agent who works with real estate investors.

You can run one-off searches for phone numbers and email addresses, and they often have promos for new users.Spokeo for Professionals: While not specifically real estate-focused, it’s a reliable option for finding contact info for individual property owners, especially for one-off searches.Forewarn: This is great for verifying contact details and gives a bit more intel on leads.

I'm never in favor of government over stepping, but I can also see how desperate individuals can be taken advantage of during this tragedy.
