I would also speak to a couple of others to get a few different opinions and ideas before moving foreword in any particular direction.  

You meet people, get calls and leads on deals before the hit the MLS, you can look at any property you want and you can negotiate directly the the listing agent or seller.

R2O solutions solve the problems of no down payment and poor credit so they can't qualify for a loan. 

Again I believe this is in direct correlation to your strategy, goals, location, funds you have available, etc.

Come up with a game plan, find a way to generate leads weather that be driving for dollars, buying lead list, direct mailing etc. then take action.
