This is the process that my company, and other public records based data providers go through to generate that list.

Jason Hirko I guess my definition of a great deal would be spending as little as possible of my own money to purchase the property that already has positive equity in it and also generates positive cashflow of greater than or equal to 500 dollars.

If they can't generate any income without a lot more from you I agree with the sentiments to get rid of the properties and clean up your personal debt before taking on more real estate.  

That way you now hold 2 assets, while generating income from 1 of them at the same time. 

Some cities will let you combine them & others won't, we looked into one city that required a 1000 foot separation between the two.If you're looking into building a grow facility to rent out it can get very involved and expensive especially if they are going to separate the THC then your looking at ballistic walls, generators, 5 tons of cooling for each grow room.

At the same time I have been sending out yellow letters to generate off market leads.

First off, I'm amazed that this post generated so many responses. 

We’re looking for a few real estate agents in San Jose to fill a couple openings, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you to see if you’d be a fit to start working with the investor leads generated by Biggerpockets.I was an agent in the program in Nashville for a little over a year, received over 350 leads which resulted in over $200k in commissions.

Because financed buyers can generate a higher cash on cash return percentage (due to their financing), they can generally afford to pay more, resulting in a larger spread for the seller.Competitive bidding - All-cash buyers generally benefit from lower (sometimes much lower) purchase prices and/or better deal terms, as their bids present significantly less closing risk to the seller.
