I recently talked to a local insurance agent that has been assisting some of the out of town buyers with insurance policies and the majority of them have purchased these properties sight unseen without any knowledge of the neighborhood they're in, school district, condition of the home itself apart from the pictures with fresh paint and new countertop or even seeing the homes surrounding it that have been condemned by the city. 

Ask questions, uncover why they want to sell. 

Tell her that you would need to see a year's worth of bank statements to prove the alimony payments were reliable, and since she can't provide that, then you have to deny her.And in the future, find any possible legal excuse you can to deny anyone going through a divorce or freshly divorced.  

So, I would try to look at that with fresh eyes and evaluate every possibility imaginable before dismissing it.

Keep up with changes in the market, fresh ways to do things, and new rules in real estate.Good luck!

Talk to enough homeowners and you'll soon find someone willing to sell at a wholesale price, especially if the owner lives out of state.Driving for Dollars: The last method is to simply drive around and look for homes in disrepair... things like uncut grass, broken down cars in the driveway, or properties that could really use a fresh coat of paint.

Haven't done LTR though, I like that the tenants are new, fresh and employed so far and haven't had much incidents.

A simple Google Search will uncover these facts.BTW, I am not looking to do commercial real estate.

I’m 22, fresh out of college with a full time job.

Might be overkill but it keeps things fresh and clean. 3 sets of everything, that way there is always a clean backup on site, while one could be at the off site laundry.
