I did not approach this scenario with the intention of maximizing leverage because in this case someone who has no borrowing capacity in the eyes of the bank they wouldn't be able to leverage anything anyway.

Thanks for the eye opener Brent. 

Do your research and keep your eyes open!

That said, if you're looking for one on one mentoring, I'd encourage you to go to the REI meetups in your area and keep your eye out for a wholesaler who meets the description (buyers like them).

I would be happy to keep an eye out on the market for you down here and let you know of any opportunities that I come across.

I know everyone says it is easy, but juggling with daily activities, it is much easier for a separate set of eyes and guidelines plus comply whatever it takes for us to get it and to simply sign on the dotted line.

The best tool in there is their direct link to social media.More costly but worth it:We have access to a service called tracers that, for .50 per pull, gets us some of the most up to date info on anyone out there.We also employ a couple of private eyes that are somewhat entrepreneurial that will not only locate the owner but set up the appt for between 500-1000 per closed transaction.These are a few of the tools we use to locate our sellers...

Keep an eye out for an announcement.Good luck.

I've had my eye open for a complex for a while.

I normally say "Ree-Eye"...kidding.
