I have been pre-approved for $300,000 through the VA, but my options seem to be pretty slim.

I'd say the odds are slim.

Personally I'm betting on continued development all up and down Montgomery Rd from Evanston to Kenwood and I think if an investor decides to buy on slim margins in this market, that's one of the better places to do it.

Assist the investor that does their own rehabs...The likelihood of someone responding to you and agreeing to give you an incredibly valuable asset is slim to none.

And starting out its going to be slim pickens due to lack of network but you have to push through this rough part. 

Our area has been great for investing but like everywhere else the choices are getting slim with rising prices and more investors jumping in.

@Wendy Patton / everyone:   Since the beginning of the year FSBOs dried up (taken over by wholesalers and flippers), expireds have always been slim in Atlanta area (too hot). 

The margins are very slim when your maximum exit price has a 1 in front of it.

Hackettstown was suggested by a friend, but it looks like slim pickings around there!

If it was FNMA, and you are lucky enough to talk to the REO department the chances are very slim they will just sell one property at a time.
