thanks @Paul T. 

It is not a easy method but if you can find a good enough deal and you have a good buyers list, obtain funds should not be a problem.

@Ryan Dossey  , I am currently working on obtaining my R.E. license as well. 

What would before way to obtain all the information I need.

Your time should be better spent in obtaining qualified leads, better yet skip the "leads" and just go to known prospects, you can find folks that are already trying to unload a property, like a FSBO that has been in the paper or on CL for 3 months, that owner has a problem to solve. 

Since rentals and not buying is what I "love" I focus on what I love and hire someone to help me in what I  don';t

Does anyone know how you would deduct the costs of obtaining a line of credit? 

For absentee owners lists obtained from Listsource, there are properties that have different addresses that are right next door to the property owner mailing address.

@Colleen F. how did you make out this past winter with the new t-stats?

Thanks @Gordon T.
