You can then reach out to these people (through mail, call, or in person), and offer this to them as a solution to foreclosure, or getting rid of the extra house they no longer live in or want.

@Patrick Madigan You might want to reach out to Jamie Lewis.

I actually reached out to him I believe as one of my first post on this platform.

Feel free to reach out to me or anyone else if you have any questions you think we can answer.

We are always looking to make new connections and discuss how we can help each other reach our goals.

Currently, I'm crunching the numbers of a few hypothetical properties of different ideal neighborhoods that will reach my goals so that if a property comes up that is close I can start action.

Congratulations and feel free to reach out if you have questions in Northern NJ.

If you're in the area feel free to reach out!  

Hey Charlie-I'm in the same boat- 2nd year student though.There are a few of Charlottesville investors on Bigger Pockets (not nearly as many as a real city, but a few).I'd recommend reaching out to Jim Klapmust, or going to the Charlottesville local real estate meetup.

There is no shortage of information on this site about creative financing, or apartment buying in general, for that matter.Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you ever find yourself considering the market down here in San Diego.
