Yes, there are podcasts that mention avoiding high crime areas, but there are also podcasts where people specifically work in areas that most people avoid... primarily for the reason that most people avoid it, and they have no issue with it.If you are planning on managing the property yourself, then you need to know the kind of tenants you want to have, and that will help you narrow down which kind of neighborhoods you want to concentrate on.

is there a way to narrow down marketplace list when using smartphone.

Maybe I could narrow it down and say how much do you pay for bookkeeping services if you flip about 40 properties a year or less, have less than 10 rentals in their portfolio

However, you are narrowing your consumer base instead of expanding it.

@Ralph NoackOntario is huge.. you can drive 20 hours and still be in Ontario.. you need to narrow down to Region..And btw you can go to CBRE and find Canadian Cap Rates in major cities.. they release new info every quarter..Your welcome

I have been looking at a couple of property management companies in the Columbus, Ohio market that can manage a 12 unit 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment, but it is difficult to narrow down on some of the best and not just in price, but in the quality service they provide.

This will help in narrowing in on the types of properties you want.

Most of them probably don't want to be called or emailed by a wholesaler though so if you can narrow it down that will be a plus

I wasn't really narrowed down to specific area yet.

Do you happen to know if that was 12 hours of cold calling random home owners, or cold calling a more narrowed down list of possible leads...owners of distressed properties, absent owners, etc.
