If you simply go to your meetups and let folks know your a private lender you can sift through the deals and cherry pick them.

Yes lots of moving pieces and honestly, I have NO clue how this gets settled - but what I have  a CLUE on is I have the rolodex of attorneys who I can pick up the phone, call and understand this process and know what questions to ask to understand the risk - such as - what if we petitioned the probate court to use an independent 3rd party (if we buy it)....

Pick one or find one.  

@Kent Fang ching - Hi Kent, checkout my podcast #373 I was in a very similar boat when I picked Kansas City from San Diego.

I just randomly picked Cincinnati and looked for duplexes in your price range.

The question I will ask is would rather step or a dollar to pick a dime or just pick up the dollar?  

I just picked a Luxe collection medium queen and it is $1899.

Success often comes from picking properties with strong chances for rent income or those that can be improved in value.

Thank you, I am still picking up the nuances, as you suggested. 

After picking a handful of areas of interest, it took me about 6 months to work on the deals that met the numbers I mentioned before.Now its time to scale!
