Hunter may I contact you some how?

Let me know if that contact can help you at all... and I personally work with investors form out of state buying investment property in FL... many investors from California & overseas.

im looking to make my first investment purchase in the syracuse area and would really love any kind of direction available. i dont know any other investors in the area to learn from or how to get in contact with a good investment property realtor. if anyone has an opinion to share i would greatly appreciate it

We had already been in contact with a handyman and with the help of another local investor we were able to assemble the team needed to help get the unit turned.

Contact an investor friendly realtor to do a comp analysis on it.

@Theo Bandy - have you attempted driving for dollars and contacting the owners?

I don't think you will get any assurance walking into this deal so you should proceed with caution.The government will force a land sale when it is in the best interest of the public however they will contact the owner of the property and a price will be established. 

During that deferment period, you should contact your loan servicer for the application to see which income-driven payment plans are available.

I contacted a property management company called "key renter" in the area and spoke to them. 

But don't you think that servicers still use this when you contact them to remove mortgage insurance?
