So they can have entirely different goals than say your next door neighbor investor who will often just throw out the words cash flow without really know what that means exactly.

I own 4 doors here in Columbus, Ohio and just closed on a flip.

I've also thought about direct contact, such as door to door or cold calling, but door to door is very time consuming and doesn't have the promise of meeting the actual owner of the property, and I still haven't figured out how to get phone lists of potential leads.

When I purchase properties I look for positive cash flow (over $300/door, at least) and hope for appreciation.I don't want to put $ every month because I'm losing money between taxes, insurance, expenses, vacancy, property management, etc.BTW, I live in Manhattan and it's a similar situation with the Bay Area.

Hey, I’ve done both turnKey and BRRRRs and have scaled to 9 doors in Detroit and Memphis.

I don't personally know one, but I have friends who has a couple doors there who I could put you in touch with.

My house in Palo Alto the only thing that happened was a bottle in the garage fell..

We don't allow the tenants to do or order maintenance, but we have been in this position in the past.

The house is a simple two bed one bath with a garage and a fenced in backyard.

You are going to have to do a LOT of educating before you open the doors.
