We're starting to look at FSBO or finding that pre-foreclose before it gets listed.Does anyone know a good method for finding these properties?

But Dave Ramsey's method is illogical.  

Is there a creative finance method that can be used in my situation that will not trigger DOS and also will not leave me with a huge tax bill once ownership is transferred?

I know the rental analysis methods (determine NOI, cap rate, COC) and I know the typical flip equation (ARV minus repairs X 70%).

I would really like to meet some experienced people and trade my time helping out for the insights and experience in the real estate world.

My name is Jake and I am a full time firefighter/paramedic by trade.

Is it uncommon for projects to trade like this, or will he run into appraisal issues, etc..? 

The qualifications are left to the Bank as is the term and rates, but it becomes a stock and trade item between lenders.

So, if my investment strategy is to "buy and hold" rental properties for capital preservation, hedge against inflation, tax advantages, passive income (positive cash flow), and the fact that it's a tangible asset and NOT in the shorter-term market where the flips/rehabs trade, then I don't need to worry about the ARV value? 

My idea is to capitalize on the BRRR method to buy multiple homes without investing more money.Is it possible to buy a home in a decent market (either a foreclosure or short sale or something) that has an after repair value of $100,000 for $50,000 before repairs?
