21217 seems to have some promising areas, but the differences in value are so drastic from block to block so I wasn't sure of how to determine which might be a good spot.I have been looking off and on for a property for the past 6 months but haven't been able to move forward with anything (either odd things have happened with the sellers or someone else swooped in just before me).

I started driving for dollars with deal finder app, have website/social media/seo in the works, and am looking into other motivated buyer lead sources for direct mail.  

That doesn't include the mortgage for the seller carry back.

Purchased multiple homes ( owner Occ only ) looking too jump into y first property , learn from mentors , info , books , videos etc. hoping too meet locals open too sharing info with motivated Neg.

If you found a four-plex that needed some work/rents were low/run by a mom & pop operation ect....you may be able to get seller financing from the owner. 

The sellers offered to submit an insurance claim for the stolen ac units and take that $ to cover the difference between our new price & her mortgage payoff.  

My current side-side hustle, Global Artisans, employs local refugees to make bags out of recycled vinyl banners.The BP podcast has already been a trove of knowledge and motivation, but I'm glad to finally raise my hand in here and pay forward the advice and support the BP veterans so willingly give.

I agree with Mike - I think it depends on the exit strategy.It feels very tight for a flip, even using Subject-To to finance it.It might be a good rental  or seller financed opportunity.   

@Nguyen QuachYes, in order for the seller to know how much he'd be willing to sell for, he has to first know how much his insurance will pay. 

Situation: Local motivated seller is in need of relief from his monthly obligation for a sfr investment property.
