@Mike Hurney thanks for your suggestion, though I confess I'm not sure what I should have said differently.  

For example, that home did not have washer/drier, refrigerator etc and has wall cooling (a couple of them have to be replaced) and few minor replacements and siding needs little work as well.Any suggestion would be helpful.Regards,Prabodh

Any suggestions on what are the best ways to build a buyers list?

If you're going to be in Augusta this week, I'd suggest hitting the local REIA meeting to meet some investor friendly agents and local investors in person.  

I highly suggest picking up those books and reading through them.  

Any suggestions on a good group? 

Let me know if you'd like for me to get you set up on that.As for meetups, a few other local BP members (Tim Gordon) and I host a free event each month that meets at an active investment property and reviews the pertinent details of the deal and helps t explain numerous facets of REI.

Suggest other things they may need.  

I can suggest a very good mortgage broker if you'd like.

I suggest always getting title insurance, just in case.
