Your local REI club is one place another is online sites like craigslist,backpage and online sites like fsbo.com are great places for deals.You can even market for those deals.

I buy at the Tax Deed sales in Houston Texas.There are some good online resources in our area for the Lists of Properties.

I read online that:"Fannie Mae agreed yesterday to become a “national landlord,†by support the first initiative designed to rescue renters facing eviction all across the country.

Cash availability for fix up may be an issue for you and that seems like the reason why you want this one that it is rent-ready.I would caution you to explore your possibility of refinancing to pay off the note in 18 months.

Here is how I see the numbers on these deals:Gross rents: $2,850Operating Expenses: $1,425NOI: $1,425Mortgage (30 yr, 7%, $165K): $1,100Cash flow: $325 or $108 per unit per monthI think that this is a good deal once refinanced.

My fav though is online marketing.

You should be able to find it online somewhere.

I know I must buy them at a premium but is the best way maybe refinancing and giving the lender/partner their cut?

If someone wants to find out bad enough they can go online and pay to get the information.
