Just keep your eyes open constantly. I passed up a house in a small town nearby that someone inherited. It was an old 2 bedroom he was asking only 12k just to get rid of it. It needed a little work but one could live in it while doing the work. I'll bet 5k would have covered any repairs or upgrades. I passed so a young white couple could buy it. They were just starting out and she was pregnant. Gotta help my own race in any way I can. I would have just flipped it.
