In situations like those, I know the best thing to do, is send out mailers to see if homeowners would like to sell their homes, and see if I can make a cash deal, no commissions needing to be paid or closing costs.The issue I run into is that I am now a licensed agent in California, and I don't know the best way to handle looking into self investing options, when as an agent, you are bound to make sure homeowners are not harmed financially in the sale.
