Those properties in areas around lakes that were sold via late night tv are excellent areas to target.We had a buyer for 23 lots like that and it took 2 years we but got nearly all of them.We sent out letters to all 23 and only got one response the first month subsequent mailings every other month got anywhere from 2 -3  responses and sales. 

To get this type of granular data would require diving into foreclosure notices, tax assessor websites, etc where you live.For example, I buy foreclosures in Arizona and Wisconsin.

@dw @Dw Chalmers isn't this the same deal you posted somewhere else that i commented on last night? 

So the oil boiler can't be easily accessed and you don't want to deal with it if you get a no-heat call in the middle of the night, right?

I hope that lets a few investors sleep better at night.  

Once you have selected a few cities that meet your criteria, it's then time to dive deeper into researching the sub-markets that comprise each of them.The sub-market selection will have more of an impact on price as well as investment performance than the city itself.If this is your first investment, I don't suggest trying to find the highest cash flowing property however.

Figure out who will do what, then can dive into what the split would be. 

You can look for the better instructors that way, night classes are good too.

Here’s at address. 24926 Avenida sombra, Murrieta ca 92563I want to see what would a like minded flipper / investor would do in this scenario since home is close to 100 days, they purchased home at night of price of market.

I guess your question is kind of like my friends asking me if it sucks being a landlord and fixing toilets all hours of the night.
