I dont work Lawrence, but I see multis pop up on our MLS...look like good deals are available.

Pop the top?

My wife and I looked for months for the right opportunity, and when this one popped up on the market, we had to be one of the first ones to see it.

Again, others might feel differently here.3) property level due diligence: (takes seconds to weeks per deal): here is where I drill in with the low-level details.a) pro forma popping: I examine all the assumptions, and see if they are overoptimistic or not.

Remember the county govt and all its inspectors are located in Rockville, so they will often see a work truck and pop into what they suspect is a job happening w/o permits.I bet 75% of properties I sell in the area have at least some work done that the proper permits were not pulled.

That's where I've been gravitating and it's approachable, achievable, and allows the average, Mom & Pop investor to enjoy the fruits of their labor with minimal headache. 

Eventually something may pop up that checks all your boxes but with inventory being low it's hard to say when that may happen.

Most folks starting out here are mom and pop organizations that do most of the work themselves and trusts will not hide them at all. 

Every time the dirtbag tries to rent again, or buy anything on credit, it will pop up and stop them.You can take the recorded judgement to a collection agency.

Salina, I am searching Google on the similar situation in MA for one of my rental unit, your post popped up.
