Gear your advertising to renters in the area, perhaps a rent to own or lease option is going to be your best bet. 

Once you find this great deal I'm talking about make a flyer and sell half the deal to a friend at the club if you need to, i bet you wont have to....... thats why rich uncles are rich they know a good thing when its handed to them...... good luckJim 

Look outside of NYC, that's your best bet.

Hi @Clarissa Ferrell - if you're looking specifically for a delinquent tax data, your best bet is to get your list directly from the county.

I bet there is more money to be made in selling the "everything you need" start-up kits than in the actual implementation of the plan.

If you rent out rooms, that is probably going to be your best bet in the NoVa area. 

You could try and find the motivation, but your best bet is likely to continue to look for motivated sellers.

I made a ton of money betting on appreciation in Beijing, China and now have completely swung the other direction betting on cash flow from turnkey rentals in the Midwest. 

After "seasoning" the property and waiting the year, cash out refinance the property with a fixed 30yr at 80% of the ARV (which is now 100k) - You can bet there will not be much appreciation n one year and the bank you are getting a loan from will be very suspect if it is a ton. 

And of course do NOT buy in declining markets (which seems obvious but in seeing the markets so many people are buying in, apparently it's not that obvious).So best bets for equity in a turnkey:1.
