A good Realtor that knows investing should be able to connect you with a great PM in the area where you plan to buy.

Creative financing to buy deals is another dangerous approach.

Buy something else.

However, can you buy real estate without using any of your own money?

I know many investors go out of state for buy and hold properties to generate passive income, but is Blythe a lucrative market?

Just stating that waiting will also likely make the cost of what you want to buy go up if the last 98 years of real estate data provides the future direction.

I also buy my own materials.

With that said, I've done some research on the market and found the following information helpful in my considerations for Phoenix that you might find helpful as well:  Demand for both buying and renting property remains high due to the city's strong economy and growing population.
