Finding a deal on an apartment complex

[Ryan Corcoran]

Hi BP, 

I am on the hunt for my first apartment complex. I have been using the MLS so far for my investing.

I am thinking somewhere along the lines of 8-12 units for my first. I have several agents keeping a good eye out for me. I have sent letters to just about every apartment owner in the surrounding towns where I live in Massachusetts. I have received some calls however none have worked out so far. Does anyone else have any creative ways to target owners of apartment complexes to try and complete a deal? 

Look forward to the responses!
