I’m relatively new to the real estate investing world and continue to focus a lot of energy on education.

There's reward in distress, but if you don't have the time $$ or energy for that, then looking via a RE agent for MLS properties that only need $10k worth of rehab is the way to go! 

While it's disgusting that "people" are doing this, I don't think I'd want to give them so much energy and time. 

About a month later (early March), the seller provided screenshots of the amount due for each bill but not the full utility bills that would have detailed the energy usage.

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

but also, keep in mind that as much as SF would appeal to buyers, there's really been an uptick in trying to force it down sellers' throats. it's not for everyone. whether we agree with his logic or not, if he doesn't want to SF, he doesn't want to SF. it's a good tool to have in your toolkit, but don't waste energy trying to force it.

It’s sounds like you have limited capital at $10,000 but may have the time/energy to put a deal together? 

Some of my best contractors are ones who made mistakes early, but showed a desire to grow and energy to work hard, and therefore our businesses grew together.
