I have had to make numerous title claims (going through one right now) and having that policy has saved me a good amount of $. 

In addition, because of how low interest rates are, there are numerous buyers who are waiting on sidelines for these foreclosures because money is very cheap right now. 

You will find yourself competing with numerous cash buyers on every investment property and single family residence.

I haven't found any MLS's or free listing web sites that have that as a search parameter.

I could give you a free trial, this is absolutely not a pitch, so please do not remove me from this thread.I also use truth finder, I do not have a free trial do that but it works pretty well.There are several others out there, but most of the information on the web is cross-referenced.In short, are nothing more than private detectives searching for our payday.

Every web site states that you should not rent it for the first year.

I realize that depends on numerous factors, but any thoughts as to strategy would be greatly appreciated!

You will have numerous issues that will arise especially if you already brought it to their attention.

The rates vary wildly depending a numerous factors (more than just credit).

@Joseph Gomez market directly to owners, do not look on MLS/Zillow.BP has many recommended ways to find properties and market to owners, such as direct mail letters, post cards, telephone pole ("bandit") signs, web keyword advertising, Facebook ads, driving for dollars (looking for run-down and derelict properties), contacting owners who have units for rent, etc.If you want volume and you have more money than time, then you might buy lists of properties from "list brokers" and upload the lists to a service that will send direct mail letters or post cards for you.
