you should listen to podcast 77 they have some really good tips on campaigns, leads, and such for wholesaling.

Maybe talk to him and find out if he's taking anyone or who he would suggest.Thanks for the tip, Kristine.

Thanks for the tips regarding due diligence.

Any tips on good areas to target for this strategy?

I don't have to do search all day ,so why was wondering.https://youtu.be/oP0BQP1s-zM OK - I watched a few minutes of the you tube presentation.

I'll spare you the whole pitch here, but what I'm offering is a way to take the photos they already have of a property and, instead of just throwing them into a slide show and putting elevator music behind them, putting them into Youtube videos with custom narrations that provide actual useful information and selling messages.No surprise, it's slow getting started since while this is hardly a new idea, it's still not exactly a common practice.

Recently I've been considering purchasing $20k-50k homes that are in good condition and tenant-occupied, so my question is, does anybody have any tips for a first-time out-of-state investor?

I recently read in Malcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" (pg72) that "what separates a great salesman from an average one is the number & quality of the answers they have to the objections  commonly raised by potential clients" or sellers in our case.  

Because the tax bill is in the name of my LLC now, I'm sure asking the county to bill the mortgage company would still tip them off, but you never know.

After all, they're just working for "tips".If you focus on the deal and not being cheap, you'll have a much better chance of attracting both money and profits.
