For me that would mean that the property would need to cash flow as a long term rental with a reasonable down payment as plan B and/or had a value add play to get a quick forced appreciation equity bump to sell at profit or cushion against a drop in prices as plan C ... and last I checked, this didn't seem to be easy to pull off in Big Bear (or nearly anywhere else in SoCal) at the moment ... doesn't mean it can't be done, just means it takes more skill, discipline, and hard work to get it done today with this safety cushion rather than forcing a deal which can quickly degenerate into gambling. 

Have more than one and narrow them down as you work with them.  

By eliminating those that are represented by property management companies, I am hoping to narrow down the search to more owner listings.

People need to band together, to get information, sign the petition, find out more about the class action lawsuit, see about the newspaper articles we're getting published (me as one).

And, speaking as a newer real estate investor, you really need to narrow down to what you want to focus on.......and then narrow it down some more!!!  

Look at import.io for super simple scraping.However, remember there are many things to consider BEFORE you start scraping - I like to narrow down my list of people I can potentially help by purchasing their property. 

We did consider it and decided at the end of the day that the narrow margin we would earn on it was waaaaaay too close, especially considering that we are moving across the country and would have to manage it from a distance.

Some states require that you disclose that you are buying it and re-selling it shortly thereafter for a profit (A-B) and that you have recently bought it and are selling it for a profit (B-C).

Of course i know the general area, that being North Jersey but i haven't begun to narrow it down yet.

A future interest following a fee simple absolute cannot be a remainder because of the preceding infinite duration.For example, a person, D, gives ("conveys") a piece of real property called Blackacre “to A for life, and then to B and her heirs.”
