Quote from @Shayan Sameer: Quote from @Samuel Diouf: Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still have cashflowing deals under $200k.

I have a friend/neighbor that wants to sell me his house below market value so he can move back into an apartment and travel.

We do them here in Phoenix market.

This is such an easy way to stand out against the competition in your market.

Anybody done that sort of marketing?

Quote from @Bud Meacham: The market is very competative in California.

Logan county has the highest price per square foot new build in our market right now almost $400 per square foot.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!
