., absentee, equity, etc.) and mailing to those high quality leads.  

Some people will say, "Take out a quality Insurance Policy and you will be protected."

Hello all,My question is simple - what methods should I use to determine the best price point for a unit?

(Dallas Fort Worth Area) Do y'all think just finding a good deal and flipping it is a good way to start, opposed to wholesaling or other methods?

Am interested in alternative methods to bridge finance between two properties each of which have LTV below 80% 

As to how to find those desperate sellers....well, there are many methods (see Kate's post above for some), you just need to find what works best for you.

I was able to owner finance and my favorite method was low down say a few grand.. and ZERO % interest carry with higher than normal payments but enough that the buyer could break even on cash flow if they managed them themselves...

Lower CAP rate generally means better area which comes with a lot of benefits such as: easier to keep rented, easier to raise rents, better quality of tenants (due to higher rents) and better value retention/appreciation.  

The problem with the high crime areas is that the quality tenants tend not to live there they have choices.

I also understand being an unqualified investor may make acquiring quality commercial financing more difficult.
