We have been going to our local REIA and I look at Loopnet and Realtor.com pretty much daily but seem to be having trouble finding good leads or a commercial broker.  

What if it has asbestos or lead paint?

Probably not as risky as direct lending but you do need to understand what you are investing in, how they are generating a return, how you will be compensated, and what your security is, if any.Real estate options.

And it beats trying to find a nice quiet place in the city to catch a nap, or get a few minutes of quiet time to unwind, or even complete some business work (used to think Starbucks served this purpose.)An interesting concept that has lead me to wonder if anyone else is taking advantage of this in conjunction with their AirBNB strategies, or any other strategy.

There are so many of you on here who don’t mind pouring their knowledge and wisdom into the new generation of investors.

I like the brrr strategy, but it can lead to some odd COC return numbers.

Generally the lead generations strategies are the same for both. 

That may actually work out twice as good as you can build relationships with these drivers to send you leads if they find any.

Its owner is a third generation family friend. 

@Alex McLean Hey Alex, first make sure you guys check the lead status of the house to start with.
