Rust belt areas were there are tons of vacant houses  tough neighorhoods and burnt out landlords are the better areas for wholesalers the price points tend to be low and agents don't want to fool with them.I would not go into this business undercapitalized .. other wise just drive around a bit and knock on doors throw a few bandit signs up and see if you get lucky

I have a tenant moving here who will be driving to Austin to work every day because she can't afford to live there anymore.

I've been continuing to hustle and am at a tipping point, I'd be crazy not to jump in full time and my old business is also driving me crazy.3 active listings totaling about $550k on the MLS getting showings and offers 1 under contract with buyer clients to close in early June for $160k2 rehabs for clients that I'm helping to manage before sale, both will finish in June with a combined ARV of $400-420kAnd in addition, now I have been in talks with one of those rehab clients to form a 50/50 partnership to flip  and BRRRR houses moving forward, his funding and my hustle/ project management. 

I have found properties from driving around & recording the addresses.

They have in house financing so the lender's not driving the train and they can structure a master operations entity with TIC ownership of the asset.2.

Below are what I came up with.1- the seller fully owns the property and doesn't really care about increasing rents2- the seller doesn't keep up with the market and don't know he/she can increase rent3- the seller is worried increasing rent might drive the tenants awayI figure investors like to see the low rent and have plans to increase it once they acquire the property.

Hi Deb,My thoughts, it's not the name that makes the money, it's the Hustle and Tenacity of the person running the business.So I think for him, (if it gives him the drive to succeed) his business name is "Right on the Money" so to speak.Scott...

I’m now going from driving, writing down addresses and observing, to writing letters, visiting divorce courts (Weird, but it’s a strategy), and several other methods I’ve picked up to find some great deals.

For example people who bird dog for me go driving for dollars in neighborhoods where I want properties and they text me photos of vacant or distressed homes and give me the address for the property.

@Justus Patterson I have great success driving for dollars and then sending a letter.
