Seems like there are options, both paid and free, that I would be able to obtain that information.

Specifically, my mission is to obtain rental properties for cash flow.

I would like to rent out my SFH that is conventional while obtaining a multi-plex (up to 4 units) with FHA financing.

Because this is your strongest asset, use it to your advantage!

Looking to start investing into some community developments in Florida. Anyone know the best way to find out which units are delinquent on their HOA fees?

Sounds so wrong to pay off a bad tenant to leave but is probably 5 times cheaper than booting them the hard way only to find your assets destroyed.  

2) has anyone driven for dollars, located absentee owners and been successful reaching out and obtaining the property from them?

Every case would be unique but some new entity would probably acquire the assets of the company including lease contracts during bankruptcy proceedings/dissolution of the company, and the new entity might continue servicing it but who knows.

It depends on the asset class.

Chris, If a multiple owner LLC is using a key principal's funds and financial strength for the acquisition of a multifamily asset, are you saying that remaining LLC owner's financials are not considered?
