@Dustin PallsAndy McFarland has a good video about this on his YouTube channel "I love real estate stories".

If you have the money, i would do that plus add a metal z channel going opposite direction of the joists ( screwed on top of the existing plaster ) and then add another layer of drywall. the Z channel leaves a space that helps in sound transmission. the problem is the sound is transmitted through the existing floor joists too, so just the insulation will not do it because the joists are still against the ceiling. this is something similar, but in this picture they used clips in combination to hold off hat channel from the existing ceiling which will lower your ceiling about another inch. 

You can be ahead of the auction feeding frenzy curve if you reach out to them first.Drive for Dollars - you might be looking for FSBO signs. 

Attempting to do so through other channels is a risk that you don't have any reason to open yourself up to.

Whoever hunts the dog feeds the dog...buyer pays.

Also is it wise to focus on two different strategies at a time or should I just channel my focus on one? 

Thank you all for your feed back.

Two years ago the National Association of Realtors appears to have passed a resolution requiring all MLS's to feed data to AVM providers but Utah objected.  

Great feed!!! 

Maybe there are enough newbies to feed on for a while, but repeat investors are not coming back.
