I would recommend contacting your local government and requesting a list of properties with back taxes, then start analyzing the areas where you think you can add value.

Like anything is sales (and you are in sales even when you are trying to buy a property), the less clean cut the deal, the more likely it is to get rejected.

@Daniel TorresWhen you mention “investors” that plural means in most instances you would need to file for a sec exemption unless it’s one investor for one deal (or in CA can do trust deeds).It’s up to you whether you offer debt or equity.

@Cesar GarciaYou need a property manager on your first out of state deal, the savings aren't worth the risk.

The place I am at now is trying to figure out how to get the funding to do these kinds of deals. 

@Andrea GalloThe beginning of the journey should be focused on deal flow, deal analysis, and networking with investors.

If you don't mind, please include what dealings you have had with them.Thanks for reading.

The agent should have nothing to do with the deal after the sale.

The Math did not add-up for me in Hagerstown after analyzing many deals because rent price overall are low.

It is more like a handshake deal between the tenants and the landlord.
