My dad is a business man of sorts and he invested in and out of real estate.

I read a post just recently from someone that mentioned Pete Fortunato, an old time Florida investor has some sort of weekly meetings in the Tampa area.

For all you BP'ers that have access to MLS, how do you sift and sort to find your SFH deals.

What sort of deal is the seller offering?

Their retort of course always is you can fix things over time but that minimizes and doesn't resolve that the expenses will be higher so if they are motivated I work them down on price for my clients and if not we move on to something else.

FM generally claims to have gotten an appraisal (or some sort of valuation) prior to listing and adjusted for damage, repairs, etc.
