My Dad likes to buy these types of properties and turn them into rentals to collect the extra cash flow from the non-conforming units ... double bonus if it is in an area with college rentals (that tend to rent by the room) or airbnb.

Hello BP Communityi am new to real estate and looking to network with other investors, mainly house flippers and wholesalers but all types are welcome.

It would be nice to obtain some type of return while saving.

I have seen from numerous transactions we have done in the past, that some management companies will stick it to California and New York investors with their rates by charging "California" type prices whereas a Midwest investor will be paying a lot lower. 

But I think different people have different type of investment they are good at.

The question you need to ask yourself is what type of investor do you want to be.  

If so, how do you go about finding these types of deals?

@Kay Kay Singh Nothing major, as I'm not looking to get into that type of rehab just yet.

I also enjoyed your podcast I listened to the other day, about type story in REI and starting the TWO clubs in your area and helping others to do so, also.

Biggest things I'd look at is how is the foundation, what kind of wiring is existing, type of water supply lines etc.
