If the vacancy rate is higher than 15/20%, it means it's one of those boarded up blocks, and thus I tend to look the other way.

Here are marketing ideas for expired listings, for listed houses, for landlords, for FSBOs, for we buy houses people that have thin leadsIn this section I’m going to keep it really simpleStep one you need a good attorneyStep two you need a good RMLOStep three you need access to the MLSStep four you need a letter of intent to talk to Sellers about entering into a lease and option or subject to or wraparound mortgageStep five you need to know the basics of talking to sellers that have little equityStep six is you need to close on a letter of intent, and follow through to get the seller to sign either a lease with an option, a wrap around mortgage sale, or a subject to existing financing saleStep seven depends on whether or not you have a lease with option or sub two or wrapIf it’s a lease with option, you want to enter into a lease with option with the seller and your LLC.

You can try a mortgage broker who has access to many wholesale lenders, or a local bank/credit union.Or find alternate means of financing, like pulling a line of credit from an existing property (if possible).Hope this helps.

Oh, and I do have access to investors.

They likely have the same access to properties that you do.

I also have access to private money if needed and didn't think this was necessary for me.

As of yet it hasn't been an issue other than blocking my getting into the garage with my car. 

We do, and so far they are all within a few blocks of each other, makes things a lot easier!

Some of the highest taxes in the state and foreclosures on every block.  

If you have the loan number, a banker at one of the branches can access limited information about the loan but whether they'll provide that info is a different question.Reinstating the loan is paying the minimum amount necessary to make the loan current.
