Same with Myers home buyers, they put out alot of good homes too.   

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Lower property taxes, affordable housing compared to LA (CA buyers are usually cash buyers because what they net from their smaller home in CA can get them a bigger home here, often covered by what they net from their CA sale), allergies (smog), and politics. 

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

There are numerous threads about sub to and many investors believe it is a high risk strategy (especially for seller) and believe buyers who use it “take advantage” of naive sellers.  

For instance, structuring investments through a European company that acts as the buyer of the properties and handles renovations could be an effective solution.

I'm curious on peoples go to approach to secure financing for an investment property - use a broker? start w local bank or CU ? or even a local brick and mortar bank?

In either case, the longer a property remains on the market, the more motivated the seller often becomes to offload it.Savvy buyers understand this and often target properties that have been listed for three months or more.

I actually am working with a buyer right now that wants me to manage his house hack.
