@Kelly There are 3 things that I would do if you can't find owners info on property tax records, 1st contact prior owner and find out who the property was sold to and get as much information about the property as possible. 2nd If you have MLS access pull the property history up and find out its status and find out who the buyers agent was, maybe they will share who was the buyer for a referral fee if you buy it. 3rd I would put a we buy houses sign up with my number in front of property and wait for owner to call me.

I hope this inspires some of you to go back and rehash a few deals.I hope that this is the beginning of a great year!

Glad to have you on the site as it seems you're highly motivated and thats inspiring!

After all, he called me immediately after I sent him a we buy houses letter.The best number I can seem to estimate in repairs is $65K.I know at that price $50K is a non starter.So the question How much should it cost to totally rehab a 1260sqft brick home with good bones?

The seller was quitting the music industry after a run of bad luck, but the last album he went out on a wing to produce ended up being a smash!

This also keeps you very focused on timelines as well, as you are burning cash during the hold and if it was a part of your budget upfront, you see the dollars going out against your budget and will be more inspired to keep things on track and not let contractors dictate the timelines so much.   

We have all heard of Rich dad poor dad, but what are some of your guys's favorites. One of my all-time favorites is Essentialism, by Greg Mckeown, the book completely changed my life, the biggest thing it teaches you ...

I will look more into the idea if house hacking.Thanks @Brent Paul being a little bit of an introvert this is definitely pushing me out of comfort zone but I did go to a local meet up and was really inspired by the investors.

I think you may have inspired me to actually post my own recent success story    Thanks and good luck in your future projects!  

You’ve inspired me to start attending networking events :)
