The first thing I would do is ensure it is safe.

So most investors I know are fine with this.I have seen some who will stack an additional LLC on top of it...to be "extra safe" in their minds.

I feel my largest use will be online rent collection as well as tenant screening.

@Jacob NevarezGeneral red flags include many days on market (60 days+), few photos available online, under contract & reactivated multiple times, and no price drops if it has been on the market a while.

It was easy to file a small claims suit against the person using the online tools available from the court system.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

The price is posted, and it's the same with almost every other business.I would go online and do a rent comp analysis on what current market rents for your type unit are getting, and if you're afraid of losing them, then you can give them a discount.If a tenant has a larger space, more amenities, a parking space, then you can add additional rent.

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

Glad to be part of an on-line real estate group.
