It makes it so much easier to be self-righteous and petty when you want to demonize someone without actually knowing anything about them, doesn't it? 

@Sedgrid Lewis,I'm right in your target area of C/D properties,  and I would just say-- it depends.   

I don't know why someone would steal a power meter since it's easier to just jump the meter base with a couple pieces of wire than it is to steal a power meter. 

And it makes it much easier to learn, fail and grow.

@Greg Davis HELOC should be easier to get.

I currently only use the BRRRR strategy and target Distressed properties.  

With 3 kids- me and hubby were looking at an easier option for selling so decided to get a few quotes.

I know that can be easier said than done. 

Id first recommend finding out if you are searching for a title company or real estate attorney.Search these forums for wholesalers in the target area and ask for recommendations, search “we buy houses” in that area and go from there.

I have connections in the Utah area that make it a lot easier to manage.
