They are not mutually exclusive 2.

I use online resources almost exclusively combined with mail requests to various counties for probate searches.

Agent tells me the house will sell easily for $600,000 ARV even in this down market.The house is located in the most exclusive neighborhood in my town.

(One could also be of the opinion that these restrictions are simply helping rich keep getting richer to the exclusion of the little guy... but that's a different discussion) Have you considered doing funding through a peer-to-peer lending site like Prosper.com or lendingclub.com?

Make sure all the rodents are out and then do exclusion (identifying and sealing all entry points).  

As an exclusive REO agent - I do that all the time, Will, and usually with investors that I have sold multiple REO's to.

Many of the multiunit properties I see (I am a Realtor in Las Vegas and my practice is almost exclusively remote investors so I am always looking for properties that meet the dual goals of profitability and appreciation.) in Las Vegas are not in good condition and require significant upfront capital investment.

I would absolutely have someone listing my property that dealt almost exclusively in multi-million dollar properties. 

I imagine your area has more oppurtunities for one type of investment than others, like most areas.Look into non exclusive options.

that exclusively serves a specific unit, is the responsibility of that owner...such as tub/shower drains to the connection at the main stack, etc.
