If you send me a message I am happy to start working on investigating this here in CO or getting you in touch with my Realtor/ PM in Iowa! 

Putting the pieces together, from your post at http://www.biggerpockets.com/topics/62332-what-mentors-are-looking-for- I think you should investigate being a foreclosure data service provider.

I'm planning to finish my investigations in the next 2 days (hopefully).

He came up with an investigative report from 2010 that showed that house has settled and it is suspected that this is due to sinkhole activity.Based on this finding, I approached the sellers agent and he immediately agreed to drop the price of the home to 55K (originally it was priced at 80K).  

You might want to investigate a neighborhood with a working class foundation - those tend to be extremely stable and easy to predict. 

Read that document to get the full details and it will likely point you in the right direction.The worst case scenario is the former owner's heirs show up outta nowhere, and claim that poppa had a precious family heirloom worth lots and lots of money hiding in his dresser drawer, and now that it's gone you must've taken it.But since the owner is dead, it may require going as far hiring a private investigator to find the heirs and notify them of the situation.

Too many people jump into the first type of investment that they learn about, without investigating all the options.

You do your investigations and make an offer.

The opportunity still exists to get started and be successful so there is no need to rush into making decisions before you know the exact path and plan.I own a turnkey company, but I can tell you right up front that you need to investigate your local areas first.  

I'll be visiting Cleveland soon to investigate further.
