Pick out your target price range, neighborhood(s), and style/age of house.

Great topic.In my experience I have seen some very inexperienced investors stumble through a deal (to their credit) in spite of their negotiating skills.Their biggest weapon was coming at the discussions from the place of how they could solve the sellers problem(s).Of course... those that developed more advanced negotiating skills not only increase their profits, they also got more deals to the closing table.One of my all time favorite negotiating books, one that I require all of my clients to read, is The Secrets of Power Negotiating by Roger Dawson.

holy crap this is an amazing tool... can get property values estimated by the county, shows history of whether they're paying the taxes, etc... name of owner/s, wow i can't believe all this info is available for anyone to see!

Thanks for the tip(s).

You can put in a due diligence period in the offer(s), which will allow you to back out of one or more of them without penalty if you get into a situation where you get too many accepted offers.

It only lets you message them if booking and when you message them, all e-mail and phone #s are blocked.Evolve sounds like a good service but the booking part seems okay...at least for now as It hasn't been long. 

Looks like there is around 44k worth of equity that you could tap via a HELOC to use on your next deal(s).($440k * .10 = 44k making combined LTV 80%)We have been doing this on our BRRRR Deals to continue growing our Line of Credit to allow us to get into bigger deals, flips, private lending, notes ect...

I have a similar situation as @jenpothilat 's posting, both of us living in expensive cities (Im in LA) with $540k cash to invest but I have a different goal and more limitations.
