However the incomes listed do work for my model, I usually make sure that median household income is at least 27k where I will buy.

Iv found the vacant property of my dreams with great bones and structure , the owners own the title free and clear only problem I'm having now is where are these owners 🤔 iv been calling around in search mode getting hung up on, calling wrong numbers, calling disconnected landlines and pronouncing people's names wrong , yea it's tough but I really want this property this may be early stages of attachment but oh well 😁 So my Question is : Is there a more accurate absentee owner website or app you guys recommend for finding addresses, emails & phone numbers ??

I was already in the search mode, it just made the decision easier.

Not only do you have a situation involving safety, and asking them to solve the problem, fix it, and on top of it pay money to fix it, is beyond the imagination, skills and finances of most tenants.

Since my wife and I both work and our LO is in daycare full-time, just want to build a big enough safety blanket so that we could cover mortgage + daycare and vacancy during rehab before we get a tenant in place. 

@Bryan Devitt thank you, I mean warrants for money owed are obviously like bad on every level disregarding safety and law but on these cases where people can get locked in a cage for something that, like you mentioned, you have to wonder if your two steps from someone being in that case?

I would also appreciate any advice on what are the best action steps to take in order to get out of “education mode” and take the necessary steps towards getting my first deal.

It can cost more than concrete if you go with those playground safety companies (The only ones doing it.).

Prioritize safety and avoid risks like swimming pools and trampolines. 

I've since started a separate 401k and am matching my employer's contributions so that I can build some retirement as a safety net.
