But the nice thing about that is, if you are a straight shooter and treat your sellers right,  others will come to you when they are ready to sell.

Also if I meet with a seller who calls me from my marketing and they have a perfectly nice home in a great neighborhood  the first thing I tell them is that they can get top dollar from the sale of their home with a realtor, and they most likely don't need to sell to me, because I will have to buy at a price where I can make money on the deal. 

A lot of the time if you talk nicely they'll help you out!

You can buy a nice multi-unit property for a descent price.

At the moment my wife and I are looking to purchase our first home (a fixer upper) in a nice neighborhood but the home has foundation issues such as leaning walls, cracked bricks, etc.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

If it keeps happening they get a nice rent increase on the next lease renewal.I have installed Boiler Reset Controls on my properties to help a little with this issue. 

I checked some of those places out, pretty nice deals.

Nice to have you here @George Yeghiazaryan, quite an impressive background.
