If you're in a small town you may have to move to the nearest big town to find one.

Maybe we can get a small group of 3-4 people together and see what all everyone’s up to.

To do this, the niche that has my attention is Buy and Hold Small Multi Family units.How did I find Bigger Pockets?

I ran title prior to bidding and it showed a mortgage was taken out in the early 90's and I saw he paid a small amount for the condo back then so I assume the mortgage is for that small amount.  

There are small private law offices in urban areas of Los Angeles whose primary source of income is taking 40% of the cut on 'cash for keys'  money from tenants who don't pay their rent.

Another new tenant has one small dog.

"As is" this deal's profit is small I usually like to do deals with at least $30,000 profit.

Long term goal is single family buy & hold, and ultimately small multi-family buy & hold all in the NW suburbs (Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Huntley, etc), and to replace my FT income in the next 2 years.

(It's a small townhome, less than 1k sq ft).

However, I've called a range of lenders (banks), small and large, and so far none of them are willing to issue a HELOC for non owner occupied investment properties.
