At least you have a starting point.

You will always be able to find a place once you have a city.  

Quote from @Saul Vargas: looking in Phoenix or Vegas, do you guys have a better market on mind?

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

I’m looking for insights on how to put together a deal with the following details:Asking Price: $260KMarket Value: ~ $265KProperty Details: 3 bed / 2 bath / 1,400 sq. ft.Days on Market: ~100Loan Type: VA Loan (Attempting a VA Loan Assumption)Mortgage Balance: $200KThe ChallengeThe seller is behind on mortgage payments, and while I don’t have an exact amount, the agent mentioned it’s over $20K.

It's also in the wording, the state will look at a Fee to be the same as a deposit.

@Kedric Naylor, you're at the court's mercy.

If you have a good agent at Networth Realty they will get you a fair deal and keep both sides honest.
