If someone who knows more than me, would wish to know more but needs someone to do some foot work, I'm your guy.

Its a lot of foot work but this will work.

Plus they can do some of the foot work in finding off market deals for you too.

The only problem with finding them this way is that you're looking at a long lead time, potentially a month or more, before the house becomes REO and goes up for sale.Another way is simple footwork - start driving through neighborhoods!

I know in my areas, there really insn't any margin left unless you have a great foot work established.

I work out of the country a vast majority of the time so it makes it hard to do the footwork so I am mostly looking online.

I have researched how to find REI groups and wouldn't you know it BP (as they usually always do) has done some foot work for us. 

These investments are being marketed as bulletproof when the very high returns are due to VERY high risk and a lot of footwork, legal work, potential costs, etc.   

And nice job doing all the necessary footwork/research to get the deal put together.

Some neighborhoods are nice but you have to consider the people who still want to live in Detroit and you will need to do the footwork to determine what neighborhoods are surviving and thriving.I need to do the same yet.
