Are these a needle in a haystack or do more like a Starbucks, there is one on every corner?

I have called around for potential pricing on these things and it seems to be like finding needles in a haystack.

Sending 100 low ball offers or seller financed offers on already competitive MLS deals is looking for a needle in a haystack (not to mention that most agents will NOT want to work with you). 

Junk or Needle in a Haystack?

I guess its going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.

It's typically the new agents that have nothing going on that will go to the ends of the earth, finding the needle in the haystack property, to make peanuts.For finding deals on your own likely have to spend money to find unlisted stuff with marketing.

(You'd be looking for the needle in the haystack with lots of active participation on your part to find them. )As I'm sure you've discovered, there are many markets around United States where you can achieve favorable rates of return and be in a healthy market and in desirable neighborhoods.Working with a professional to help you identify those markets in neighborhoods would be my best advice.

The deals that pop sweet cash flow day one are a needle in the haystack. 

So, screening too stringently in some of those lower income neighborhoods could substantially reduce the size of the tenant pool for you, to the point where you might be searching for the proverbial needle in the haystack.
