Finding properties

General Real Estate Investing

I am new : :shocked…which is very unique to all of you I am sure. What works and what does not( or not as much) when searching for a property… Internet leads( what sites are good?), search county records, newspapers, title companies, private adds, FISBOs atd. Can anybody share their experiences? I want to buy a my first house so I can live in it. I am hoping to get it with enough equity so that I can play the game.

Appreciate any insides. But the key is to find one first, huh? :help

I bought my house as HUD Home owner. Got it for $101k, financed $4k of closing costs into the load and spent $8k fixing it up. House is worth $140k. Not the best deal at the time, but that was the easiest when I was starting out.

I agree to check out the HUD homes in your area. If you plan to live in it you get first chance to bid before investors. www.firstpreston.com is a good place to start.
