I've been scouting out areas from parkville throughout downtown/westport/plaza to waldo/brookside since those are the areas I know best.

I’m a Health Coach & Personal Trainer so my afternoons are free for scouting, ground work prospecting, and networking.

Or you can scout your own deal, hire a contractor and oversee the rehab, and self-manage your tenants for maximum control but also maximum time investment. 

Come down on a scouting trip (aka vacation).

The national range for equilibrium is 6.5 - 7.5 (though it may vary in local markets).You'll also want to scout out the competition to see how they are doing - what is their occupancy, street rates, etc. so that you can do some "back of the  napkin" figuring on your own to see if it makes sense to move forward.Please note that if you're going to pay for this all on your own with cash, you can do whatever you want. 

I just started using a website called Neighborhood Scout.

Hey there guys,Just wanted to see if you have any recommendations for great..not good Buyers Real Estate Agents in DFW who can assist in scouting properties.. and help in determining ARV..etc.

Can you suggest the price points I am looking at in areas where there is stable employment and what would be those areas.I am also looking for a reliable property management company and a Realtor to help scout investments in Florida, Matt if you have any suggestions and recommendations it will really be helpful.

You are right about the Rochester area Adam, I scouted places all over the states for the best prices and attractive rents, and Rochester is on fire. :) I would love for you to PM me in regards to the appliances.

Otherwise, a buyer's agent can do the scouting for you and help you out with the process.
