I am interested in meeting people from whom I can learn more about real estate investing. 

They probably actually have less debt than most other people, so it is easier for them to make rent payments.The vast majority of bankruptcies are medically related.They have been "through the system" and they don't want to go through that again.

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

I hear what Zeona is saying, but it may be irrelevant if say you are in the North San Fernando Valley where people from the Palisades aren't going.

Take people's advice and also dont take people's advice, make a decision that best fits your situation. 

I'm reaching deep into my psychic thoughts… I see it… A majority of people who respond to this post will be real estate brokers… I can see it!

I think the risk is similar and probably even less likely with midterms, particularly since you should always have a lease agreement for your midterm rentals whereas people rarely do this for short terms.

But I guess to answer your question, I find people who are going to foreclosure.

It is important to note, people would rather rent a cleaner, and newer home, than a "larger."

We lend up to 75% of the ARV but most people are buying and rehabbing well below that from the investors I have been working with.
