Interestingly enough, an insurance broker told me her son saw a gang shootout at 1 in the afternoon as he was driving through the neighborhood, further south, close to the 105.

so in essence a flooring line then when they are sold he signs them over in exchange for his principal and his return.. usually 15 to 18% interest on those.. got to choose the used car dealer wisely of course.. they have been known to fudge titles and your collateral has driven off without you getting paid.I also have a client.. they happen to own a few Toyota stores in Oregon but one of their business and I think it could be one of the largest on the west coast is they buy sub prime auto debt... you know the kind were they put the chip in the car and also a little do hicky that flash's when the payment is due  and then when they are 15 days late or some amount of time the car is disabled.. so they can use the chip to find it and its disabled and they can just go and repo it.when I was in Jackson MS I asked a used car dealer there that I met at my watering hole.. how the heck do you sell cars for a 100 down 100 a month .. he said  SON  my clients are born live and die all within in about a 10 mile square area here and the key is getting their mom's name and number.. we just drive around till we find it or call mom and get the whereabouts..

I'll be renting a car and taking a drive through the town.

I recommend finding a place within driving distance so that you can tend to your baby if you need too.Good luck!

Here's my situation:1) Looking in the Providence Rhode Island area, and surrounding communities (Pawtucket, East Providence, Warwick, Cranston, etc)2) I'm fairly busy with my business, so need assistance with finding properties (on or off the MLS)3) Prefer properties that are fairly turn key (again, because I'm busy) but willing to take on rehabs for the right deal.

I've been super busy at work and haven't gotten a chance to tour it but I did drive by last night after work and the roof looked good and it appeared to be well kept.

Im getting 50/50 on that question which drives me away from buying anything right now lol and now im understanding that SFR (single family rentals) owning and renting just one door is a bad idea for investing and also not as much cash flow etc.

Supply/demand drives prices, not property condition or anything else.

I am starting to “drive for dollars” in these areas looking for abandoned properties and off market deals.

Even though you've just set the money aside and it isn't really a 'cost', it will drive the initial ROI lower since investment increased.
