Call me crazy and dumb just for pulling this trigger.  My territory is usually here in Southern California and I do pretty decent here wholesaling.  Anyway, I just recently made an offer on a property out in Iola, Kan...

I had 100+ photos taken, mostly of little problems with the property that would need to be addressed if purchased before it could be rented.It will be managed by a property management company.I can't imagine doing it 100% blind, having someone I trust to look at it was what made it possible for me.  

There is always risk in investing, but there is more risk if you are going in blindly.  

One method I would focus most of my time on is the direct mail campaign you send out.In my years of perfecting and sourcing undervalued real estate, Brian, one method that has garnered me success is sending out blind offers to owners. 

Ronald, I don't think so because I am not going into this blind as a bat.

I wouldn't trust it blindly, but it's a useful data point.I've only used my 10 free trial reports so far, but I'll just signed up for the annual subscription. 

I see 2k for professional services but nothing else, unless I'm suffering from temporary blindness.

So you naturally can get a little bit of accidental (but predictable) blind leading the blind.

The DPP seems to turn a blind eye since these types of properties fill a major need on Oahu in providing housing.Regarding the rail, I'm not sure. 

That said, I don't have any investments setup as partnerships, so this could just be a blind spot for me.For what you are specifically looking to do, I would suggest you use an asset based lender.
