I'm a small broker still helping buyers, sellers and doing property management. 

Here's a few from me:1- Code Enforcement: Houses with lots of violation tend to have motivated sellers.2- Driving For Dollars: Driving the block seeing what has uncut lawns and a deferred maintenance.QUESTION: If it's vacant, how do you guys contact the owners?

Then ended up seller those with the house because the buyer wanted them so worked out.

Hey everyone, I created a Facebook page for, Agents, Lenders, Wholesalers, Buyers, Sellers, Flippers who are doing business in Wichita and the surrounding areas to connect.

I came across a motivated absentee seller that lives out of state.

To get it under contract ask the seller how much he needs to sell it for. 

The kinds of questions you want to ask are more about the seller and why they are selling. you want information you can use to negotiate. 

The tax docs list as a 2-unit but the owners + seller's agent insist they have zoning compliance paperwork that it's a 3-unit - our offer has a contingency on getting the zoning paperwork for a 3 unit.My question is related to the garden unit - what constitutes a legal bedroom?

My limited understanding of a subject to is that the mortgage stays in the seller's name and the seller gives me limited power of attorney as well as Deeds me the property. 

My motivation to start out buying and renting out properties is growing day by day but I am looking for any guidance and advice on how to move forward with a few properties that I predict with not only grow in value in the near future to sell but to provide consistent cash flow month to month.
