The city of Oshkosh hopes to take advantage of a federal program to buy foreclosed homes for $1 and partner with two nonprofit organizations to revitalize Oshkosh neighborhoods.

Someone in the neighborhood complained due to the dust they were creating.

Talk to the newspaper!

I started out wholesaling junkers to other local investors by driving close neighborhoods for vacant and run-down houses, knocking on neighbors doors and searching courthouse records to locate owners.The secret here, is to warm up to the owner but not being afraid to make an offer that you think will make them mad.

Or should I continue saving and living in a bad neighborhood?

In Tucson, that agency is "Neighborhood Resources".

Luckily my new mortgage was $189/month, and I had enough left over to buy a subscription to the bi weekly newspaper.

REO's in my neighborhood are getting picked up within days instead of months.
