Check with a real estate company. Let them do the work. The seller pays the fees, not you.
You will have to look in the local papers to locate such a property. You may also check the for sale by owners that are advertised. Call them and see if they are willing to go with a lease with an option. Normally you will have to place a nominal fee down for you to to do this. I can be anywhere from $5000 to $10,000. This amount will go toward the down payment if you exercise your option when the time comes. You might also put in the contract that a percentage of the rent go toward the down payment. Of course it would have to be agreed upon by the owner. You should not have a problem if you read the newspaper on a daily basis and check for those that want to sell by owners (FSBO) I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"
