Some of the damages include ~$7,800 of missing property, kitchen cabinet doors ripped off, a mangled chandelier, a damaged refrigerator, divots from a claw hammer in the granite, and urine and feces stains on rugs, furniture, and hardwoods from an unauthorized puppy.

To insurance salesman the answer is always life insurance; to stockbrokers the answer is always investing in the stock market; to a hammer the answer is always a nail.

Any list you can pull for a few bucks has already been hammered by hordes of investors before you.Not saying this way can't work, but I recommend a different path...I prefer to focus on sellers who have a reason to sell but who require some effort and skill to identify.My favorites are #TiredLandlords, namely owners who have filed an eviction lawsuit against their non-paying tenants.Many of these folks are through being in the rental business and are open to hearing about a way out.Even better, #TiredLandlords are ideal candidates for seller financing, since they don't need the sale proceeds to buy another house, PLUS they are already conditioned to receiving monthly payments over a period of time.

Your blended rate will be better and you can focus on hammering away at the 2nd mortgage which is the higher interest rate.
