Check out this link for a list of real estate meet ups - https://www.straightupchicagoi...You can also go to the "Build Your Team" tab here on BP and click Local Meetups and filter for Chicago for posts. 

I've been using Batch as well as Prop Stream to try and filter out owners with some sign of distress, but the results for large areas are some times in the single or double digits, not enough to truly target on a mass scale.Question is - is this how it is in other areas of the country, or is there a way to access data that I'm not thinking of? 

My only frustration on Zillow is being unable to filter out Auctions and Foreclosures.I entered your exact parameters for New York -- I got to find out all about the Greater Syracuse Land Bank!

Hi all, I reside in Bay Area, CA with a full time job in tech and been 2 months since I started reading and breathing BP podcasts/books on real estate.

The list is free and you can ask them to filter it based on your criteria.I don't have any experience with commercial properties, but I asked for SFRs that haven't had any transfers in the last 10 years and have low property tax (I figure people who recently bought their houses won't want to sell).I hear great things from listsource.com but I didn't feel like paying for something I can get for free.Best of luck!

^ yup....holding my breath for Prop 21 to fail and get flushed down the CA toilet!

Put all upstairs ductwork together and all downstairs ductwork together, also adding a return duct for the upstairs, 2 filter boxes, supply box, drain pan, and furnace feet.

This is accomplished by applying multiple filters to eliminate unsuitable cities.

There are so many so be sure to filter by your location. 4) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!)

I think they're great to serve as a filter to determine which deals are worth spending time on.
