Without an income stream your not going to be able to obtain capital or loans.

Traditional lenders will let you obtain 10 30 year mortgages.

I've actually spoken at planning commission hearings before when I either supported or opposed certain businesses that tried to obtain a use permit to operate near my house. 

We financed it through a mortgage company with 20% down obtained by selling stocks. 

Hi,I was curious what the process is, and what possible pitfalls there are for someone, particularly a beginner, to obtain hard money for a flip?

How do I go about obtaining/ putting an offer on the property without notifying the owners?

Can anyone give information on finding out how to find these motivated sellers or where to obtain list of absentee owners or pre foreclosure.

I am no where near the level of @Bob Malecki, but I have never seen any of the assets I've purchased either.

Here are the figures:House 1 Purchase Price $110,000.00 20% down 30yr fixed 4.75% 3-2 CBSEstimated value: $197,000.00Mortgage : $81,000Rent: $1,450PITI: 787.37Vacancy/Capex/M&R 18%: $261.00FCF: $402House 2Purchase Price: 131,000 3-2 20% down 30yr fixed @ 4.5% built 1983 CBSEstimated Value: $170,000Mortgage: $99,641.00Rent: $1350PITI: $837.42Vacancy/Capex/M&R: $243.00FCF: $270.00I’ve always been of the mindset to hold any income producing asset that produces cash flow, I mean why would you sell it?
