The braggarts are pretty obvious, which makes it easy to skip their posts.

For example, if you have a zip code, or neighborhood or street you like, look up previous buyers in the same area then skip trace to talk to them. 

Of course, in order to do this, you have to skip the "standard deduction" and you have to itemize deductions.

You can do as I did when I started by buying a tax sale attorney breakfast and picking his brain.

Please bring cash to pay for your breakfast should you care to have breakfast with us.

There was someone advocating on another thread to use skip-tracing for this, but we experienced people just shook our head.

What I choose to do with the money is my business, and whether I buy prostitutes and cocaine with it, spend it betting on cockfights, or donate it all to Save the Whales or Save the Children or Save the Cute Stray Animals, none of THAT is going to make me a better and finer human being, either.I'm still a sinner, no better than the next guy, no more developed, no more refined, no more worthy of grace, no less deserving of the pit, and talk like yours worries me.Because it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the psychology of personal growth to understanding myself as a more deserving person than my tenants because I worked and saved and bled to own the roof over their heads, and they didn't, so God has rewarded me on Earth with riches to show His favor and punished my tenants with a lack of money to show His rejection.

And B, with it being both I would end up feeding the residents breakfast also.

We applied and they are giving us a hard time saying our properties may not be a "good fit" that they aren't too comfortable with "income properties" making to $150,000/yr rental income -- they say if they are similar to "Bed & Breakfast" properties, however, that would be okay!!!
