For a sponsor like that usually doesn’t make sense to put her offering on a 506C/Crowdfunding portal and pay an extra fee. occasionally I do see some do this anyway.

Occasionally you’ll see homes listed with 2 or 3 bedrooms that have a lot of square footage.

I would eventually like to get to where I have a couple rental properties and also work on minor flips occasionally as well?  

From some of the posts I see that this may be more of a cash flow play, occasionally there may be some appreciation. 

We look at MLS, foreclosures, FSBO, tax sales, vacants, out of state owners, probates, word of mouth, properties not for sale, HUDs, VAs, FNMA's, etc.We haven't done any direct mailing for sellers in 5 years, but I still get an occasional call off those old letters.

Your gonna score more with consistent base hits than occasional home runs.

I only get on it occasionally but am trying in the next week or so to get back re focused on things I mentioned in my last post.  

That is much tougher from afar and you better subtract occasional travel costs from your returns.  

I work these type situations here and wear all three hats, from time to time: (write an annual article on foreclosure and protecting clients assets for the probate legal community; occasionally foreclose as lender, also acting as trustee under my corporate entity; and routinely work with trust and estate clients to resolve a foreclosure).Quitclaim deeds are of little value in this state since title companies want an affirmative transfer.

Yes you may occasionally get a call from a seller desperate to sell and wants an agents expertise giving you first shot at a deal.Also understand I am not judging you or your ethics just trying to rationalize how playing on the trust factor of being an agent works with buying undervalue from a trusting seller.I totally get going in saying "I can pay this much for your house" and the seller freely choosing to take that or not.
