It is a tight market but if you stay patient and use all your resources you can get it done.

BTW this is the same step  up in basis you will get if you're patient and they will the property to you - the tax and depreciation recapture all go away for the heirs.2.

My biggest recommendation is to be patient and not rush into an ok deal just to stay busy.

It's all relative and you have to be patient and adjust your expectations.

Im Awais, early 40s, total REI Newbee from San Antonio.I work 2+ jobs as an MD.Tired of being an expensive labor.Want my financial independence, so I can sit back and enjoy life a little, spend time with my young kids and finally take care of patients at a slower pace, because I would love to and not for earning money!

Hard to find, yes, but be patient and deals are there.

Also online auctions can be very good if your patient, Ive done this and there is a definite dance to this process. 

Make more offers and be patient and consistence.  

Be patient and consistent.Quantity does matter to be a successful investor so you should make about 3 offers a day just in your niche and the market you select.  

I would like to be more aggressive with the investments but will be patient for a couple of years to see what happens.
