Perhaps you can find a good real estate agent to do the leg work for you or connect with some wholesalers that can feed you some possible deals.

Wow starting to sound like a no brainer as I write this but would love some feed back...

That difference after a couple years of losses will become a cruel reality pushing them to sell and look for greener pastures.If that happens, there will be a glut of property on the market and a self feeding cycle, with the expected result of sale prices dropping.

Paying for the roof over head, feeding and clothing family, buying healthcare insurance (I like HSA plans for the investment opportunity), put gas in the non-work car, etc. all comes from somewhere. 

As an established investor, I am getting potential deals through an MLS feed, from my realtor and wholesalers buyer lists.

This seems a bit high to me but I would like to get feed back from other investors about how they got started and what they recommend.

Don't feed into it.

If you do not have the where with all to put this into effect you must align yourself with individuals or  a group or groups that can feed your pipeline with opportunities.

your tone fooled me initially you seemed complacent and resigned to accepting the facts,I suggested the lawsuit not to win but to hurt the contractor, your situation reminded me of what is truly distasteful about the business, contractors who always seem to bite the hand that feeds them,so many can prosper if it wasn't for there egos and lack of compassion.

@Daniel Dietz Agreed, Kohler showed up in my You Tube feed and I have been hooked ever since.
