Maybe my version is outdated or maybe that just doesn't work here.While working on my business plan, I'm trying to create something basic that will allow me to have a template to follow.

Take photos of the issues.then you find the owners on the county assessor site, and send them a personal letter and pic of the property saying you drove past and noticed this house, that you were not sure if anyone was living there but you were interested in buying the property. while you are sending out these letters you should try and find any of the following:private money, hard money, flipping partners, landlords, cash buyers, etcyou can find these people on BP, or go to a title company and ask who has been buying in that area for cash over the last couple years, you could ask your family members, etc.Now when you get calls back from the homes you drove by, you already have the exit strategies. anyway, that was a condensed version of driving for dollars so if you have any questions about that, feel free to reach out to me or anyone else here on BPAdam Adams

@Abdul Azeez If repairs are under $35K, you should be able to find a lender that offers a sort of streamline version of the Homestyle renovation loan (we call it EZ-Conventional).  

The in-store, in-stock laminates are cheaper versions of the made to order, at least these days and at Lowes.

Since you like to read RE Books, get the print or audio version of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki...

It's Fannie's version of the FHA203K.   

Ask a title company to do a preliminary title search, that's a quicker version of a search, they can tell you about all current liens or other clouds on title.

Plan on reading the investor version afterwards.

@Adam A.Adam,My post is lllooooonnnngggggHere's the short version - I obtained 2 non-recourse loans against my Dallas properties.

Check out my profile for more detail, but the short version is: I was a Realtor/Loan Officer in HI between 2004-2006, so I understand that aspect.
