Your ROI is a number close to infinity and you can repeat indefinitely - And YES - there are still deals out there that will work ... one just closed a couple of weeks ago in The Woodlands on MLS at about 70% of value and only needed light rehab - maybe $5,000-$6,000ARV - 177,000Sold - 123,000Rehab - $5,000Total invested - $128,000-$129,00080% refi - $141,000 Rents - $1,500-$1,600 My initial offer was $120,000 - They declined to counter - Now that I see the final sale amount, it irritates me that I was so close but missed the deal  

The only problem is the his house already went through sheriff sale and it's on the redemption period.

I found one that had an eviction notice on the door and a for sale sign in the yard but no listing agent only a number. 

Unfortunately, all of the the sales in the last 24 months were for units that were already remodeled.Or should I do something else entirely?

@Thomas Harr I purchase 3-5 properties a month at tax sales, the MLS and my network of other investors.

A transaction's facilitation and coordination takes a lot of time and energy so why not let a professional handle that for you free of charge?  

We look for things like motivation and willingness to learn.One way Experienced Investors judge to work with Novice Investors is to see if the Novice Investors prove their motivation.Novice Investors Posting that you would love to meet Experienced Investors and hoping that the OP of this thread will pick up the reins and coordinate a group meeting with a good mix of both Experienced and Novice Investors will only demonstrate to Experienced Investors that they will probably not want to work with that particular Novice Investor(s).Although I'm breaking a rule by pointing out to Novice Investors a simple fix to prove their motivation, I just have to say it.When you don't have much to bring to the table AND you wish to network with Investors that bring a lot to the Table, then you have to use what is in your power to attract those that can benefit you.

My agent was brand new and it was her first sale.  

What is their sales price?

I am considering purchasing a property at tax sale.
