Now I'm sure someone will ask where I got $30k, I know a few different local investors that I have rented apartments from, and they both said cosmetic rehabs like the one I described usually take around that much, assuming major repairs don't pop up like electric, plumbing, and things like that. 

Also the cleaning lady said the owners closet had been popped open.

I am getting MLS alerts but the more I research on forums, listening to recent podcasts, etc.. it seems like MLS deals exist in my area but may be pretty challenging to come by... and that sometimes it pays to be creative.One of the strategies that has been mentioned is to target craigslist 'for rent' ads that seem like Mom and Pop owners that may not be managing the property well or might want to exit for whatever reason.Outside of the basic "Hi, I saw your listing.  

Positive cash flow with a lease agreement and a tenant who won't move and pays on time every month.Maybe I'll pop in to a DIG meeting and connect again.Regards,Jim

No wonder wholesalers are popping up like weeds everywhere, a lot of money in that game with no risk and very little capital investment.

Erie and Brighton are growing like crazy and new businesses are popping up everywhere.

I just went back and looked at my notes and my ask was not for the lists/groups, it was the ability to sort my colleagues into those lists/groups from the primary list of Colleagues under my profile by simply hovering over them and selecting an "assign to list" option from the pop-up ... kind of like the "Message" | "Connect" items which appear in the pop-ups when you hover over someones avatar in a forum post.

The 10 year popped above 2% last week and I would expect it will keep climbing for some time.

Your post popped up in my alerts because we are a tenant screening company too and I couldn't believe it - our founder went to UND in Grand Forks - Have you ever run into @Sarnen Steinbarth up there?

If you are talking mom and pop commercial sub 1 million in price then you get a lot of crap loans and not many lenders wanting to loan except local banks and a few credit unions.
