You can target low equity homeowners which are in foreclousure and will lose theitr house to the bank because they can't make the payment.

We currently target deals that fall through and then make a no-contingency cash offer to hold their original closing date.

It's a moving target. 

Toughest part will be figuring out what market you want to target, what teams to trust and employ to manage your properties for you as I wouldn't recommend trying to manage the property yourself.

I'm assuming there's lots of stuff out there that's way cheaper.I originally wanted to just buy a couple lists of 10k numbers each of targeted motivated sellers, and then hand them off to a VA company that will dial them, but I was told it'll be a much better business if I get proficient myself and then hire my own VA's and train them.

Develop an extensive email list of “interested parties” and periodically contact them with “soft advertising”.4.

It's only 110V but would be nice on the property advertisement for potential tenants.

For appreciation, target areas with strong job and population growth.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I don't do anything with advertising on campus.
