Always expect the unexpected. 

hi rafeal. i have a number of different ways to find the owners, usually they are free  also. first, find the house, then check with the local tax assessors office. they may have a new address for the owner. second, county websites often list the owner. most often, it will list the owner as living in the house, which we know is not the case. then, if you get the owners name, check the website for any other houses he or she may own in the area. chances are they live in one of the other houses. if they do not own any other houses, run their names on whitepages.com. you might be surprised with what you come up with. as a last resort, i knock  on neighbors doors around the house. its amazing what neighbors know. 

And then something unexpected happened...

I'm sure there will be capital expenditures and vacancies and other surprises that eat into that but for the sake of argument, let's say $400 a month cash flow is attainable, which it definitely is.

I don't have much experience so don't be surprised if I ask a bunch of dumb questions.

The next wave may come unexpectedly.

To my surprise, they said yes immediately.

I was surprised by the amount of properties that weren't cleaned.

Talk to more lenders and you'll be surprised how helpful they can be!

It was just a little surprise at the end.
