So far, the only thing I've heard about is a local meetup that occurs monthly in Bay Shore hosted by @Kevin Myhre. https://www.instagram.com/libiggerpockets/Hoping to hear about an upcoming meeting soon.

@Mark Ainley and @Tom Shallcross host the podcast, and it is on my list to listen to daily.

There will be title issues, probate issues, original seller not willing to close issues, appraisal issues, hard money lender issues, family says grandma not in her right mind to sell at 50% discount issues, termite issues, foundation issues, structural issues, can't get insurance issues, I don't have any money to move out issues, or a whole host of other problems.Well...every now and then you find someone that wants to dump one and it is a clean deal and they think because they are not using a realtor, they're saving 6%.

And a lot of reasons why a whole host of other cryptocurrencies are good.
