Basically, unless it's your own home, you CANNOT offer owner financing unless you are a Loan Originator or you hire one to do the paper work (that is much harder to do than expected).Many investors (including one in my local REIA) don't wish to bother with this, assuming that HUD as bigger fish to catch.

You're not going to find trout in a bass pond.

You want to be fishing in a pond where no one else is, and once stuff hits MLS, you will be competing with too many people in order to get a great deal.Direct marketing is definitely the way to go.  

I am going to research this further...but I have to remind myself that I have bigger fish to fry than to worry about these things:)@Marc Jolicoeur Good to see you buddy!

Fishing and dove hunting is still a thing - fishing up the river into Martinez and such. 

ANY OTHER WAY is simply cast a huge net and hope you caught a red fish among all the mullet. 

i would just leave water heater unless it can be moved easilymost good electricians can use a fish tape or rod to pull new electric wires,most likely you will only have to do some patch work on sheetrock once they are finished we change water heaters for a box store in my job(just over broke)every day and nobody worries much about water location until you get into high end areas hope this helps good luck

I'm a newbie investor and I'm still fishing for my first deal.

You basically have access to 15+ speakers who present on their flipping and wholesaling businesses (I'm the smallest fish out of this year's line up), and other business owners attend as well. 

There are plently fish in the sea.
