Take this 💥just-closed renovated property for example💥:With my query of "22757 Charlemont Pl, Woodland Hills, CA 91364 5/4/2400-3050,0.6,300" we get an ARV Estimate that is ~4% off, and I picked this at random just scrolling through recently closed in my areaAnd the Market Stats $/sf of renovated property in that Zip Code matches up pretty well, so I know the ARV estimate is realistic:You can also run Agent Stats to find/get in touch with the real top-agents in that area so you can triple-verify everything and/or list it with them when you are done.With the above, I am able to quickly vet every new deal that comes my way and spend more time on the good ones.

The interest rate obviously won't be as good but maybe you can find a deal with minimal cash down.

Quote from @Calvin Drake: I've found that some of the zipcodes on the northside (32208, 32209, 32206) have adequate opportunities to meet the 1% rule; however, with some deeper looking you most definitely can find properties elsewhere in Jacksonville that may not require as intensive of management as Ken mentioned.Can you explain what you mean by “deeper looking” other than looking at public listings or going into wholesale which I don’t have time for? 

Hello, I am new to real estate investing, and I was wondering what the best way is to find information on a property owner.

First time JV fix and flip How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Trying to find out too..

Unfortunately, it is just difficult to find sold comps without having access to the MLS.

You can also use the "Build Your Team" function above biggerpockets has to find a tax professional and financial advisors that specialize in working with real estate investors.

Once you find them you can just wait to have them start helping you until you are ready. 

Be very diligent and ruthless in finding them.
