The best way is to network with real investors at your real estate investors club (see the link on this site for a listing of clubs in your area), and/or call for rent ads and signs and talk to the landlords, who may be buyers for more properties, and establish a buyers list.

How to value a property with no financial stmts

You will have to support that building out of your own pocket while you are renovating and while you are finding tenants to fill it.I suggest that you do not pay utilities, so if utilities are not separated, figure the cost of doing so into your expenses before you decide what you want to offer.You should be able to get a close estimate of taxes from the assessor's office-- taxes will go up when you purchase, but taxes are usually a % of assessed value, so not hard to figure.I suggest you check with the local fire marshall to see if the building needs to be brought up to code.

Third time the charm?

This time I scared the deadbeats into deediing it back, saving me $1200 or so in attorney fees, and got a $2000 insurance settlement check from them for some damage caused by "vandals"-probably their tenants as these guys were, unknown to me, trying to be landlords without having a clue what they were doing.Anyway I've been working on it for 3 weeks, on thier utilities and insurance and now have a contract for $100K.
