Pretty interesting, you should search your county and find the date and time for the sheriff sale and get the experience. it is a good place to network as well.

I can't remember the names off the top of my head, but I created a spreadsheet when I was doing my search and can probably send you over the names of the banks if you like.

David, I been on both sides, as landlord, landlord searching for PM, and as a contractor in the IT field.I self manage mainly, and for small jobs, I do have plumbers and handyman handling.

I’ll start my search there.

Use the magnifier search tool and you’ll find others have already done that.

ROI is a great tool that many investors look at, but at the end of the day it doesn't pay any bills, so maximizing my cash flow is always my number one priority.

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors, realtors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsLooks like you've already made some connections with other BP members in your area...You can also search for other investors or brokers in your market and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersBest of luck to you and look forward to following your success on BP!

I’ve since been searching for an area to build a rental portfolio.

I've tried finding myself but unable to search those specific amounts without getting a ton of other unrelated posts.
