A solid set of contractors, proven over multiple years.2.

In Portland, OR I usually check with the county for property tax foreclosures...they typically hold their auctions once a year...depending on their inventory maybe more often.So I would check the county website for whatever city you are looking in...i'm sure there are multiple counties you can check...they will have a section for property tax auctions...and there should be someone you can call...they will probably put you on their mailing list and they will notify you when they are having sale...at least that is how it is done here in Portland.

On a subject to or L/O, I do the work and get paid multiple times; including what the seller may give me, what the tenant buyer may give me, my backend profits and the tax advantages (on a subject to).

It is probably something that will need to be tested and recorded multiple times before it gets the conversion rates you might want.

Sean,I have also gone directly to some of the banks websites where they list their current REO holdings, search for the area of interest, and then identify the agents that come up on multiple properties.

You're going to go over at some point and that costs multiple hundreds of dollars while the cheapest plan I've seen that makes the least bit of sense for business is about 60-70 bucks a month after taxes.

Zip code alone is not a sufficient criteria as multiple mini markets exist within the same zip code.

Do you have hard money lenders and commercial lenders that would let me do multiple of these deals?

We have done this multiple times.

It depends on whether I use a GC for the project or sub the project out directly to multiple contractors, but I always start with a Scope of Work document.
