Rather than flip out, I just sat down and poked around the forums till I found out what others had to say about this common problem.  

Theoretically say I found a house for 100k.

Prices are up but if you are patient there are deals to be found.

I have found a very interesting deal that I would love some experienced investors to weigh in on. 

I am absolutely excited to finally found a community of like minded people here at BP.

I am glad i found this page to connect to and learn from you guys.

Hi everyone, There's a lady that wants to sell me her house and after doing some research, I found out she's facing foreclosure.

For myself, I've found a GC who's done whole-house rehabs and is experienced in the types of upgrades for areas that will help them sell faster.

I've been surfing the forums and listen to the podcast and webinars here on BP for the last 6 months and have learned a TON... wish I would have found this place before we spent $20k on a guru, but you live and you learn I guess!

With good screening good renters can be found - I know two properties that are in similar areas here that do it.Yes, the location is a challenge.
