My wife and I were driving around Claremont in Southern California and noticed a vacant home with notices plastered all over the front windows. looking through the windows revealed an empty house with lots a work to do.What is the best way for us to find out who the owner is, what the current numbers are, and subsequently try to make an offer on the house?

Subsequent posts identified Fuquay and Cary.

Since I will be doing this more with other investors that I have pre-relationship with, would it make sense to set up a bigger fund with first close being $450k, and subsequent closes to be $1M plus.

If you're willing to go after value-add deals, you could do a bit better and maybe even get your capital back after a few years to do subsequent deals.If you want something truly passive, you can consider investing in syndications.

Once the auth is in place for $10k, the lender can still capture that amount regardless of any subsequent changes to the account, including a credit line decrease, so long as the auth is still active.

Over the past year, I have worked with @Sean Richway on several deals and have been satisfied with his attractive terms and subsequent loans.

You would have to get a conventional loan for the subsequent properties until you refinance out of or pay off the FHA loan.

For example if a number of them live in a house, and subsequently purchased another house to live in, then could not sell the house.

We own a lot of houses and duplex/quads here in LA County and get tons of these letters (that I used to throw out, but am now keeping as examples) Has your rate gone up with any subsequent mailings or have you given up?

After a lot of good advice on the forums, and a few subsequent in person discussions, I've just launched my first wholesaling campaign (500 letters, Chicago market).
