And no other buyers can get a loan on this thing either because there's no income to show.Anybody have any lending sources that might do this as a value add project?   

Additionally, holding the property during the ongoing area growth has allowed it to appreciate in value, further increasing its long-term potential as both a rental income source and a valuable asset in my portfolio.

If you surf through the forums you'll get a bunch of good nuggets from conversations.

Reach out to some agents on here that source off-market deals.

Hi @Gisele Sood, there is a mix of free and paid services that can help you retrieve the data that you seek.To gather data on tenant demographics and property demand, consider these resources:Census Bureau & City Data: Offers insights into local demographics, income levels, and household types.Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com Market Insights: Check these platforms for property demand trends, popular property types, and renter data by area.AirDNA & STR Insights: If considering short-term rentals, these provide data on occupancy rates, guest demographics, and property preferences.CoStar & REIS: Paid services that provide detailed market analytics on rental demand, property types, and demographic preferences.These sources can help you understand tenant needs and property demand in your area.

Do you rely on specific data sources, gut instincts, or perhaps a blend of both?

All the most successful wholesalers I've seen here in KC (and the ones I've bought from) all at least have a local affiliate.2) List Source is what I've always used for getting such lists.

Another option you can do is buy using conventional first and as long as you can live in it you can rehab slowly if you have the time and use money for rehab from another source if possible.

I have learned a lot about the process from listening to BP podcast and other sources, but I still don't know about Oregon's specific laws surrounding wholesaling. 

Do your own research from multiple sources.
