It cost me $800 to fix the few minor cracks to their satisfaction. 

Congrats on gaining the knowledge and lead :)  Best advice is to keep at it and be patient as it can take time for deals to convert - especially if you are reaching out to them and asking if they want to sell and they weren't already in the market to sell.  

If I had to choose between someone eager to move in without history or someone else dragging their feet but with good history, I'd rather be patient.  

I am confident there are foreclosure deals out there, just a matter of being patient and finding one.Rentals with pools just freak me out with liability and all of that, no thanks. 

However, some say that there is still deals to be had there and you just need to be patient, and diligent.

I'll be patient and diligent and save and save some more....

Hi Neil,I'm building a flipping business and am working on my first flip, but to find properties I've been doing the following:- Networking at REIA meetings- Working with an investor friendly realtor who is patient and knows the type of property I am looking for- Build a network of wholesalers, join their email lists, check their websites- Telling anyone who will listen what I'm looking forI've gone to a few properties that I've found on Craigslist, but they have been way overpriced and needed more work than they were worth.

Just be patient and consistent.

when i made that last payment the teller said it would take a few weeks for them to record the satisfaction.
