I think it's a good idea to contact the landlord and ask if they want to sell it to you, especially since you're already renting/living there. 

I've been a member of GAREIA for about a year and it's been fantastic - lot of people in that group that are experienced and excited to help the next gen investors.https://gareia.com/Feel free to PM me or reach out to contact info in bio - would be happy to help however I can! 

That's why I am sending socal investors to him.Let me know if you want his contact info.

I have been to RE meetups in the past with like-minded everyday investors pursuing similar goals, sharing stories and learning from each other, running through numbers, sharing network contacts, and even doing deals together.

If you are looking to wholesale you need to contact owners directly before someone else does.

Leave the less desirable ones as a backup to contact if this prospect does not work out.

Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further. 

The first thing that the renters insurance would do is contact the landlord insurance and they would step in on the matter and/or they would subrogate any costs to the landlord's liability insurance. 

We contact Chase, and Chase transfers the loan from me to Don, allowing him to keep my original terms and payments. 

Contacting rentals is a smart approach too, its all really a numbers game
