That being said, there is a shortage of rentals in the area so a simple post to Facebook Marketplace or join the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ElkhornandWalworthCountyOnli... 

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Yes I own two that are near 100 years old and I will tell you they are a pain in the you know what compared to all of my post WW2 properties especially post 1980… layouts are better in the last 50 years and energy efficiency is better and I can keep going… HOWEVER to reply to the other aspect of your question, I’ve found appreciation is better with older properties in areas of the path of progress.

*I'll try to update this post if any updates or improvements are completed, but since November there have been no improvement or fixes.

However, in order to do this effectively, you have to have knowledge, experience, resources, and cash reserves in case things don't go exactly as planned.Hopefully this post was helpful to you in seeing a realistic example of how to purchase real estate without using your own money.

Good listings are a people game, not anything you have at the bottom of your post.

Letters, post cards even calls are useless to this owner class. 

Just like you said at the end of your post. 

Hi Al and good to see your post.

Hopefully this helps clear up the main point of your post!
