An all-access account from Ancestry ($400/yr+) will go a long way and you will occasionally hit the jackpot when you discover “trees” created by others who’ve identified your target.

If I could get my own money refinanced back out of the property, and if the buyers had a great down-payment and could make a good monthly payment, I might occasionally do another o-f sell.

You can find foreclosures there and the occasional deal.

The catch is that there's also a 3rd floor unit that the previous owner had occasionally (illegally) rented out which is a 2BR/1BA on it's own.

Occasionally a tenant will respond with a "hardship" letter, stating they will be forced to move due to the higher rate.

My partner and I are in the process of putting together a RE investment company primarily focused on flipping and the occasional buy/hold.

Ineffective use of my time & I will not jeopardize my reputation with the other listing agents.I have clients that we occasionally toss out some pretty low offers on houses that we do not feel are the greatest deals.

I own my own company as a principal broker.Being that you are a residential agent mainly and do not have the training yet you would want to look into commercial real estate firms.Residential brokerages will have an occasional piece of land they are selling for development or a small office or a mom and pop type gas station but that's not where the career is at.In commercial people specialize.

That's how an occasional good deal is there for the taking at these auctions - from my experience.

I occasionally pick up deals in Rome as well.
