Neighbors, Tax records, Skip Tracer, etc. RESEARCH

Maybe you can find a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal :-) 

In all seriousness though, do some searches, ask other investors & shop around. Some lenders have better deals than others depending on several factors.

I hope you meant current owner, not previous owner. Previous owner won't be much help. If you're new and aren't used to talking to owners/sellers, find a good script to use, then just call & follow the script. 

You can get contracts for GA at REISGA.com

Contact the owner however you can. Find out their situation. Make offer(s) if they're interested in selling.

Do all of them. They're all good. Start with whichever way is easiest for you.

Nothing inherently wrong with Turnkey IMO. Just have to do your due diligence like any other deal.

Stick around long enough & you'll hear good things & bad things about every type of deal.

Just say you have a deal they may be interested in.

It does sound a little complicated, and if you're an inexperienced newbie, this may not the best candidate for your 1st deal. That being said, liens can often be negotiated for much less than face value and the bank may accept a Short Sale. A lot of work & time spent. 

Even if you don't get the deal, it'd be a good learning experience if you have a lot of time.

If you're really asking if there's anything inherently wrong with it, the answer is no IMO (as long as they don't have a bad rep & have the best deal). 

Do your due diligence just as you would with any other lender.
