Then work backwards from there and see if you can't find deals that fit into your model.

A contact offered it to me and I'm going to check it out however I'm not sure it will fit my needs for a rental.

Hi Wesley,We have a place in WS that might fit your bill.

A couple places that come to mind that fit your criteria, or come close are Laurel MD, Winchester VA, Frederick MD.  

Visit the property and evaluate what it needs for what model the deal will fit in. 

Can you just have a joint venture agreement that fits your needs drawn up by your lawyer? 

Pick something that fits your personality-maybe it's networking with investors at meetings or calling FSBO's and get really good at it.

I must add I would then rent the property out and the money I give them would be used for them to move elsewhere that fits their budget.. thus keeping a foreclosure off of their record.. and putting cash in their pocket as opposed to losing everything..does anybody do these kinds of deals or am i thinking crazy thoughts???

What are they looking for in house to make sure your place is a fit for them.

Don't get me wrong, they're great for getting started, they're clean and easy to do, and they're excellent for any deal that's too thin or not a good fit for your portfolio.
