I am new to land investing and would like to know what investors do to automate the process of qualifying leads. In addition, what programs are the most trustworthy in terms of getting comps? Do you use different marketing agencies to prepare and send out letters?

Hello All,

I am looking to purchase a turnkey multi-family 5 unit + in areas like Lake Worth, Belle Grade, etc. Would love to connect with brokers and property managers to discuss the market and opportunities. Looking within the $550,000 - $700,000 range and I don't mind dicey neighborhoods, but it needs to be relatively safe. 

Any ideas on where are some great pockets? Pricing?

I am in the process of looking for MF (two-three unit) turnkey properties in Chicago or Dallas. I am looking to turn my 401k and roll it over to a custodian (Self Directed IRA) similar to Crowdfund IRA, Equity Trust etc. to invest into a property. Can anybody recommend a custodial companies that typically deal with real estate investors?

@Steve Morris Thanks Steve! Pleasure to connect and that information is very helpful!

@Jingru Sui I am looking for both residential and commercial. 

As a real estate investor, one of the largest time wasters for me is pulling comps. You end up depending on real estate agents (whom are very investor friendly), but have their own lives to manage when you might see a deal you need to jump on right away. Can anybody recommend very reliable and user-friendly software where a real estate investor can pull comps in most markets? Markets like Chicago, Nashville, Austin, Atlanta, Tampa, NYC, Colorado, LA, Reno, Orlando, Dallas etc..

@Andrew Floyd Thanks alot. I would be interested and thanks for your comment!

Thanks Jacob, that information is very helpful. I will be looking to live in Austin. I will pm you shortly. 

I love everything about the Austin market. When I did my research, it checked all my boxes. At the moment I am looking to work with brokers who typically work with FHA multi-family buyers. Essentially I am looking to 'house hack' and live in one of the units. I preferably would like to purchase a 4 unit multi-family property in a suburb relatively close to downtown that is already rehabbed. I am a property investor in Chicago, therefore I am looking for an area with strong rental growth.

Hello @Sam Abazari, pleasure to connect with you and would love to talk. But I must say that the properties I would like managed are towards the south side of Chicago.
