Craigslist ads (post about twice a day and reply to every for rent post in your target area), Direct mail (send letters/post cards to every foreclosure filing in your county and then follow up with them again about 3 weeks before the foreclosure sale is set to happen), Drive for Dollars (when you see a house that is in need of repair, knock on the door, ask about the owner's plans).

No major repairs or anything, but a decent amount of handyman like work that I keep up while I’m living here.

In other words, you'll provide 100% of the rehab amount, but your borrower will come out of their own pocket initially to start the repairs.

If she pays on time and isn’t a huge pain in the $&@ , I’d just get it repaired for 15$ At a local hardware store and if it happens again take it off the deposit .

All Contractors are subject to the lender’s determination that the contractors are qualified and experienced, have all appropriate credentials required by the state, are financially able to perform the duties necessary to complete the renovation work in a timely manner, and agree to indemnify the borrower for all property losses or damages caused by its employees or subcontractors.Multiple Specialized Contractors: Since this is a limited repair/renovation program, no General Contractor is required.

@Nathan GuyetteThe beauty of real estate is that you can depreciate the property minus the land over 27.5 years, depending on how much you are collecting in rent, you will likely pay little to no taxes after deducting real estate taxes, mortgage interest, deprecation and any repair and expenses.

Through my due diligence I discovered repairs needed and have agreed upon a credit from Seller in the amount of $25,000.
