You can set specific criteria to spot underpriced homes, distressed properties, or anything that’s flown under the radar.I know several investors have had more luck with using water shut off lists, so while it's more work, that might be an even better approach.One thing to note is that Privy compiles real-time MLS data and integrates public records, so you’re not just getting a snapshot of the listing status but a full picture, including owner history, property condition, and any price drops over time.That said, if your focus is primarily on expired listings, I'd also suggest checking out RedX—they’re known for their niche in expireds and FSBOs.

So I suffered for a long time financially.

I'm a long time professional property manager and I'm not afraid to deal with delinquency or other legal matters myself, so I only pay for the services I want, like screenings and the tenant payment portal. 

So I have a slightly unique situation (At least I think it is) but I recently assumed an FHA mortgage.

When you keep a 1-2 bedroom apartment for yourself, usually the numbers pencil out to something like $4000 mortgage, $2500 rent, so your net rent is $1500.

So a couple of books by Frisco based Craig Hall. 

You can be an agent absolutely anywhere so that shouldn't factor into your decision.

So valuable.Still a few terms in this response I'll need to research to understand them in a more "5th grader" mindset I'm in (vs the legal pro you are!). 

I didn't think so.

So you could be wasting your time on investors who aren't even investing anymore and you don't get any actual contact information it is all through the site.
