Door knocking seems to be the most common method.

I called all the local lenders in my area and took notes as to which were investor friendly, and recommended this method.

We suggest the both and method.

Is there a pill that will solve this?  

I'm in the brainstorming stage.Do you think this method can work, or do you have another creative solution for this?

If you use the 70% rule (not the only method for determining purchase price), based on your estimated ARV, a purchase price in the $60k range would be a decent target.Another thing to think about is typically at courthouse step auctions, I believe you have to have all cash to make the purchase.Whatever you decide to do, best of luck to you!

That's always a red flag.I would solve the riddle and run a credit check before I rented to this person.

You are absolutely right about the valuation methods, and for that reason I don’t treat them exactly the same.

I'm stuck and can't seem to come up with any ideas on how to move forward, but I'm sure someone on here has the solution and solved this problem plenty of times. 

I am most interested in using the BRRRR method to obtain rental properties.
