. - Thinking in terms of getting your principal back is certainly valid in some investment, but it's not usually how real estate investors think, because when you invest in a property, that money isn't gone, it's just changed from a cash asset to a real estate asset.

In terms of what you should do with the property in the mean time, I would say the absolute min to make it livable.

Your best bet is probably someone that has quite a few projects going and is capped out in terms of capital but still has deal flow.

In terms of title companies you can look up Foundation Title in Marlton.

I'll link an example - this house is selling as is for $47k and doesn't seem too awful in terms of renovation.

I personally wouldn't cut through the owner/listing broker, I'd just move analyze the deal in terms of the worst case scenario.  

I don't remember exactly, but I do remember my agent indicated they were a little light by today's standards in terms of the amount of juice they were bringing. 

From everything I have read or heard, I think these types of properties suit me the best for my financial goals.Still however here in San Diego based on the forums, it seems like this a very hard place to invest and also seems there is much more money in terms of cash flow in other states.

@Jennifer BrownAfter you have determined what your criteria is - in terms of the numbers, let your agent know.

First off, RE taxes are super high, in terms of evicting a problematic tenant, it can take several months, and lastly, property prices are very expensive which will make my net return % very low.
