Contact some local investors and property managers and pick their brain to see what strategies and price points are profitable so by the time you are financially able to make a move, you will hopefully already have a few properties to pull the trigger on

What I did was once I got it under contract I contacted the city, told them I was buying the house and gave them a list of the work I was going to complete.

If you are ready for sub-to, have private lenders ready, friends with self directed IRAs, friends who you can wholesale to and belong to a large REIA then you will be able to do something (and monetize) with just about every deal that you come in contact with.Its like the handyman who owns a hammer.

This is a free service.Since you are the owner I would contact each utility company and sign up for it if they have such a policy.

Any suggestions, contacts, information, or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I do have a rockstar agent that we use and I can put you in contact if you are interested. 

@Daniel PattersonHave your partner contact @Brian Schmelzlen after the tax season ends.

I would like to purchase a note for a specific property. I have never bought a note before. This is for a note in second position for a property I have a lease option on. The homeowner has not paid on this note for se...

Hi BP, I have been using Listsource.com to pull list but when I come into contact with the homeowners they often own the property free and clear and are not distressed.  

Has the Landlord attempted to contact the Tenant?
